 binary compatible

 jpeg v8 API is fully supported by libjpeg-turbo, and I don't know of any
 open source software that uses the jpeg v9 API, which is purely research
 and experimental.

 Please read the full explanation here: https://libjpeg-
 turbo.org/About/Jpeg-9

 Most Linux distributions already switched to libjpeg-turbo and it was
 painless since everyone uses the jpegv8 API.

 I'm using the path: approach (depends_lib  path:lib/libjpeg.dylib:jpeg) to
 patch all ports that depend on jpeg, and it works very well!
