Farkas,

As Tom mentioned in the thread, the intention is that libjpeg 6x is
intended to remain ABI compatible which makes me nervous about
changes to boolean or INT32 definitions.

I have run into frequent issues with the boolean definition myself in
builds with libtiff and often have to futz with it. I'd like to improve
things but I don't want to alter the ABI.

It might be a good idea to file a very clear summary ticket on the issue
in the libjpeg bug tracker.

Hopefully this area of confusion will be dealt with in libjpeg 7x.

Best regards,
