In which case, the autoconf should be changed to --with-jpeg instead of
--{enable,disable}-jpeg, if it's going to be mandatory.

However, I think others have pointed out that it should be possible to
run a "headless" Flash player that does no A/V, only execute a subset of
ActionScript that doesn't require a visual UI, so it should be a
possibility to build Gnash witihout libjpeg.

Oh, the decisions ...
