Well, you can simply have a custom fill_input_buffer function that you give
to libjpeg.
I have almost finished the code, I just have to make sure it compiles. I
have no way of testing so that it works since Kaffe currently doesn't run
on my system, but it shouldn't be any problems with it.
I'll post the patches later tonight.
As a side effect, this could actually be used to create a jpeg image from a
http stream too. Just make a custom fill_buffer function that takes the
first n bytes from the DataStream object at the first reads and when the
DataStream is drained, switch over to use KREAD calls on the socket the url
is grabbed from. It will work but maybe it is a little overkill at this
moment.
