This patch set provides libjpeg-turbo as a drop-in replacement for libjpeg.

libjpeg-turbo is a fork of the original libjpeg project.Most of the major Linux
distros (Fedora, Debian, OpenSUSE) moved from libjpeg to libjpeg-turbo recently.
lbjpeg-turbo provides better JPEG compression/decompression(at least 25% faster)
while maintaining same API/ABI as libjpeg.

Once we reach an agreement on this, based on the decision, we can move the
libjpeg package to meta-oe for applications which may depend on API version 9.
