libjpeg has an odd upstream.  We needed some build fixes to be
included for the Windows cross-compiler, but found the current
upstream to be unresponsive (although at least they're making releases
now ...)

There's also this project, to add hardware acceleration (SSE and so
on) to libjpeg:

http://libjpeg-turbo.virtualgl.org/

If we're going to switch, maybe this is a good choice.
