This is an extension for Tk400.* or Tk402.* which supplies
JPEG format loader for Photo image type.

The sub-directory jpeg is release 5 of the The Independent JPEG Group's (IJG)
free JPEG software with only the addition of a (dubious) Makefile.PL.

This package is not distributed with perl/Tk due to different portability
and licencing issues see jpeg/README for details of IJG's license.

It is likely it will not work as-is with tk8.0 merge (Tk80?.*) when that
happens due to changes in tk internals.

It looks as though it would be fairly easy to add -data loading
and writing, although the value of saving dithered image as JPEG is
uncertain.

The build process does not follow a proper MakeMaker mechanism yet.
In particular Makefile.PL in jpeg directory just invokes IJG's GNU-ish
'configure' script. Thus some hand intervention may be required.


That said :

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test

Should build it.
