I did some profiling of this for the spice project, and it performed
very well. I would very much like this to be in fedora, either as a
separate library or as a replacement for libjpeg.
It is binary compatible with libjpeg, but contains some extra API not
supported by the normal libjpeg.
Which means you'll have to make a choice as to which one to support if
you want to handle JPEG files, and that we'll have to fix upgrades and
new installations to install the preferred one, as they would have the
same soname.
