6b is long outdated.  I don't care about this anymore, and people who
do so are simply ignorant.  I have not initiated the SourceForge project,
so those people who did should take the responsibility to make an
appropriate update.  The only actual reference for current libjpeg
code is http://www.ijg.org.

I have noticed that jpeg-7 is available on Google Code under GhostScript
(will find this when searching for "ijg jpeg-7" on google).
And even v7 is fading fast into history.
v8 is ready here and will be released on 1-Jan-2010.

It is not my task to fulfill certain conditions of any repository site.
I don't care about this, so this has to be done by others if they set
value on it.
