As I've argued earlier, I think we'll want to keep port:jpeg around anyway, for 
the simple reason that no one can foresee if and when software will start using 
jpeg9 features ... or even features from a future version. It'd be stupid to 
have to reintroduce the port then, rather than beginning the whole transition 
with moving libjpeg to an install location where it can co-exist with other 
libraries. I've submitted a draft proposal for that on trac earlier today.
