Norman,

I took a quick look, but I'm concerned about adding a new dependency
with libjpeg.

I don't think we  should do that without at minimum checking for it in
the configure script and #ifdeffing around the code in case the jpeg
libs and headers are not there.

I'm heading out to SFO on tuesday myself, so I'm not sure I'll find
any time to fiddle with the code either.  Speaking of which, does
anyone out there have any successful experience with opengl on qnx?

Regards,

Curt.
