    Changes to libJPEG:
      jdatadst.c - fflush and ferror replaced by macros JFFLUSH and JFERROR.
      jinclude.h - standard JFFLUSH and JFERROR definitions, and new macro HAVE_JFIO.
      jmorecfg.h - changed definition of INT32 to JINT32 for better compatibility.
      jdhuf.c - added support for OJPEG_SUPPORT in libTIFF.
      new file created: jconfig.h
 
    Changes to libEXIF:
      new file config.h
      changed "exif-tag.c" to add new function
      changed "exif-entry.c" to improve exif_entry_initialize
      fixed small bug in "mnote-pentax-tag.h".

    Comments:
      Other APPx markers are ignored.
      No thumbnail support.
      RGB images are automatically converted to YCbCr when saved. 
      Also YcbCr are converted to RGB when loaded. Use AutoYCbCr=0 to disable this behavior.
