Done.

This package contains:
* IJG 6b
* Lossless patch (oceana)
* cmakelists.txt
* debian/* files
For people starting from this thread, LJPEG is simply an integration
of the lossless patch for IJG. It comes with cmakelists.txt as a
default build system since the building of IJG to support 8 / 12 and
16 bits is not a runtime option but a compile time option. I feel much
more comfortable writing that in cmake than with the previous build
system.
Let see if the community has any interest in this package. There are a
couple of gray areas remaining:
- should I keep the version number 62 (aka 6b) from IJG or will this
confuse people ?
- I have a couple of patch in the gdcm/jpeg that have not been
applied. It concern broken JPEG implementation and have not been seen
outside of the DICOM world.
- if this package ever gets into debian, I think dcmtk package should
use it instead.
