2Wrapping the jpeg support library for tcl is a bit more complicated
3than libz, or libpng.

5(1)	libjpeg comes with its own configure command, and there is no
6	configure.ac. This means that it is not possible to lift the
7	relevant sections out of it for the configure of the
8	binding. Instead the binding run the configure of libjpeg
9	(AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS) from its own configure and uses the
10	resulting header file (jconfig.h) as usual. A quirk is that
11	the tcl binding is a subdirectory of libjpeg, but to be able
12	to perform the previous operation its has to be the other way
13	around (AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS is unable to handle '..'
14	correctly). To facility this I placed a symbolic link into the
15	directory of the binding, refering to the parent under the
16	name libjpeg.

18(2)	A second trouble spot is described in the file 'DANGER'.
