+*******************************************************************************
+** Background
+*******************************************************************************
+
+libjpeg-turbo is a high-speed version of libjpeg for x86 and x86-64 processors
+which uses SIMD instructions (MMX, SSE2, etc.) to accelerate baseline JPEG
+compression and decompression. libjpeg-turbo is generally 2-3x as fast
+as the unmodified version of libjpeg, all else being equal.
+
+libjpeg-turbo was originally based on libjpeg/SIMD by Miyasaka Masaru, but
+the TigerVNC and VirtualGL projects made numerous enhancements to the codec,
+including improved support for Mac OS X, 64-bit support, support for 32-bit
+and big endian pixel formats, accelerated Huffman encoding/decoding, and
+various bug fixes. The goal was to produce a fully open source codec that
+could replace the partially closed source TurboJPEG/IPP codec used by VirtualGL
+and TurboVNC. libjpeg-turbo generally performs in the range of 80-110% of
+TurboJPEG/IPP. It is faster in some areas but slower in others.
+
+It was decided to split libjpeg-turbo into a separate SDK so that other
+projects could take advantage of this technology. The shared libraries
+built from the libjpeg-turbo source can be used as drop-in replacements for
+libjpeg on most systems.

+** Building on Unix Platforms, Cygwin, and MinGW
+*******************************************************************************
+
+==================
+Build Requirements
+==================
+
+-- autoconf 2.56 or later
+ * If using MinGW, this can be obtained by installing the MSYS DTK
+
+-- automake 1.7 or later
+ * If using MinGW, this can be obtained by installing the MSYS DTK
+
+-- libtool 1.4 or later
+ * If using MinGW, this can be obtained by installing the MSYS DTK
+
+-- NASM
+ * 0.98 or later is required for a 32-bit build
+ * NASM 2.05 or later is required for a 64-bit build
+ * NASM 2.07 or later is required for a 64-bit build on OS/X (10.6 "Snow
+ Leopard" or later.) This can be obtained from MacPorts
+ (http://www.macports.org/).
+
+ The NASM 2.05 RPMs do not work on older Linux systems, such as Enterprise
+ Linux 4. On such systems, you can easily build and install NASM 2.05
+ from the source RPM by executing the following as root:
+
+ ARCH=`uname -m`
+ wget http://www.nasm.us/pub/nasm/releasebuilds/2.05.01/nasm-2.05.01-1.src.rpm
+ rpmbuild --rebuild nasm-2.05.01-1.src.rpm
+ rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/$ARCH/nasm-2.05.01-1.$ARCH.rpm
+
+-- GCC v4 or later recommended for best performance
+
+======================
+Building libjpeg-turbo
+======================
+
+The following procedure will build libjpeg-turbo on Linux, 32-bit OS X, and
+Solaris/x86 systems (on Solaris, this generates a 32-bit library. See below
+for 64-bit build instructions.)
+
+ cd libjpeg-turbo
+ autoreconf -fiv
+ sh ./configure CFLAGS='-O3' CXXFLAGS='-O3'
+ make
+
+NOTE: Running autoreconf is only necessary if building libjpeg-turbo from the
+SVN repository.
+
+This will generate the following files under .libs/
+
+ libjpeg.a
+ Static link library for libjpeg-turbo
+
+ libjpeg.so.62.0.0 (Linux, Solaris)
+ libjpeg.62.dylib (OS X)
+ libjpeg-0.dll (MinGW)
+ cygjpeg-62.dll (Cygwin)
+ Shared library for libjpeg-turbo
+
+ libjpeg.so (Linux, Solaris)
+ libjpeg.dylib (OS X)
+ libjpeg.dll.a (Cygwin, MinGW)
+ Development stub for libjpeg-turbo shared library
+
+ libturbojpeg.a
+ Static link library for TurboJPEG/OSS
+
+ libturbojpeg.so (Linux, Solaris)
+ libturbojpeg.dylib (OS X)
+ Shared library and development stub for TurboJPEG/OSS
+
+ libturbojpeg.dll (MinGW)
+ cygturbojpeg.dll (Cygwin)
+ Shared library for TurboJPEG/OSS
+
+ libturbojpeg.dll.a (Cygwin, MinGW)
+ Development stub for TurboJPEG/OSS shared library
+
+========================
+Installing libjpeg-turbo
+========================
+
+If you intend to install these libraries and the associated header files, then
+replace 'make' in the instructions above with
+
+ make install prefix={base dir} libdir={library directory}
+
+For example,
+
+ make install prefix=/usr libdir=/usr/lib64
+
+will overwrite the system version of libjpeg on a 64-bit RedHat-based Linux
+machine, causing any 64-bit applications that use libjpeg to be instantly
+accelerated. BACK UP YOUR SYSTEM'S INSTALLATION OF LIBJPEG BEFORE OVERWRITING
+IT.
+
+The same can be done for 32-bit applications by building libjpeg-turbo as a
+32-bit library (see below) and installing with a libdir of /usr/lib. On
+Debian-based systems, 64-bit libraries are stored in /usr/lib and 32-bit
+libraries in /usr/lib32. On Solaris, 64-bit libraries are stored in
+/usr/lib/amd64 and 32-bit libraries in /usr/lib.
+
+Mac applications typically bundle their own copies of libjpeg.62.dylib, so it
+is not possible to globally replace libjpeg on OS X systems. However, libjpeg
+can be replaced on an application-by-application basis, for those applications
+which use a shared library version of it. This would generally involve copying
+libjpeg.62.dylib into the appropriate place in the application's Contents and
+using install_name_tool to repoint the dylib to the new directory. This
+requires an advanced knowledge of OS X and is not recommended for most users.

+
+32-bit Library Build on 64-bit Linux
+------------------------------------
+
