Comment (by tim.bruylants@…):

 Please do not support libjpeg9! The comment and link that was posted in
 comment 4 is 100% correct.

 Libjpeg9 not only has a changed ABI/API, but it also diverts from the
 official JPEG standard. Thus, it potentially generates conflicting, and
 non-standard JPEG files. As far as I know, most of the larger Linux
 distros also dropped libjpeg9 in favor of libjpeg-turbo.

 I, myself, was surprised to find that MacPorts relies on libjpeg9. I am
 removing this lib from my system as we speak, and suggest everyone from
 not using it.

 Kind regards,
 Tim.
