Back in summer, I asked about libjpeg-turbo and if it should be added in 
the book.

libjpeg-turbo is a fork of the original IJG libjpeg that uses SIMD to 
accelerate many things such as encoding and decoding of jpeg images.

It is fully compatible with current libjpeg (v8) and old libjpeg (v6) 
and it implements some of it's own API as well in a seperate library.

Some distros have already migrated from IJG libjpeg to libjpeg-turbo.

Now, on to topic.

When using --with-system-libjpeg in Firefox 18.0 configure process, it 
fails and prints out the following:

checking for jpeg_destroy_compress in -ljpeg... yes
configure: error: Insufficient JPEG library version for --with-system-jpeg
*** Fix above errors and then restart with               "make -f 
client.mk build"

config.log has the following:

configure: In function 'main':
configure:15475:23: error: #error "libjpeg-turbo JCS_EXTENSIONS required"

The question is:

Should we keep IJG libjpeg and remove --with-system-libjpeg from Firefox 
build instructions or should we replace IJG libjpeg with libjpeg-turbo?
