Just to double check you understand that I call the package "libljpeg"
so that it does not conflict with "libjpeg". The reason I kep the 62
notation is so that people are aware the patch was applied against the
official ijg release 62, and not the one from guido's 6c release.

So far the package is very minimalist and only contains :
- ijg 6b
- lossless patch
- cmakelists
it does not contains non of the gdcm's patch. I'll work on that; once
I see positive response from a DD to handle the package. This
duplicate my work from the gdcm package, so I'd prefer not waste my
time for a doomed package.

As a side note what does it takes to becomes a DD ? I guess there
should be some info on the web, I'll check on that.
