[Solang-users] reusing xzgv code?

[Richard Zidlicky]

Hi,

I was pleased to find solang-0.3.8 in Fedora-12 recently. It looks really nice
even though many details could use fine tuning yet.. I realise a later version
was released now.

I was wondering if you did consider to reuse the x/zgv code for jpeg decoding? 
I still
have a copy of xzgv in use here and the performance difference to other jpeg 
decoding
libs seems quite noticeable. Although I am not sure how much of it is really 
jpeg 
decoding it feels much faster.

The code is not neatly packed as library and the included EXIF code is broken 
or obsolete
but otherwise I had a good impression of the code when I was hacking it for my 
own
toys.
