Although it would appear that the jpeg library from ijg.org is the
standard, many people, including the many Linux distributions, use
libjpeg-turbo instead. I think MXE should use it too:
http://libjpeg-turbo.virtualgl.org
It's a drop-in replacement for jpeg.
I agree that libjpeg-turbo might be a nice addition to MXE.
However, it's only a replacement for libjpeg<= 6b. It does
not provide all features of libjpeg 8.
So I'm refraining from replacing it in MXE. However, we
could add libjpeg-turbo as a separate package, in case it
is installable side-by-side with libjpeg.
Also, I'm not sure what Linux distributions you are talking
about. I'm using Debian, which provides jpeg-6b and jpeg-8,
but I haven't seen any appearance of libjpeg-turbo, let alone
any attempts to replace the the jpeg-6b package with it.
