[RFC] libjpeg-turbo

Chuck (and other affected parties),
The libjpeg-turbo project provides SIMD acceleration while remaining API
and ABI compatible with IJG libjpeg 6b/7/8 (based on configure flags).
I have been using this libjpeg8 locally instead of the IJG one from the
distro for some time, and have seen no ABI incompatibilities.
Fedora switched from IJG libjpeg to libjpeg-turbo in F14, and did the
same in their MinGW toolchain for F16 (when they switched from mingw.org
to mingw-w64). Perhaps we should do the same?
