Autotools: Allow selecting a specific libjpeg SONAME #434
Conversation
It is possible to have multiple dynamic shared libraries for libjpeg,
for example in the Steam Runtime 1 'scout' SDK, which has development
headers and a runtime library for libjpeg-turbo (installed as
libjpeg.so.8), but also has the runtime library for IJG libjpeg 6b
(installed as libjpeg.so.62). Allow an invocation like
./configure --enable-jpg-shared=libjpeg.so.8 ...
to force the use of a specific SONAME.

See #433 (comment) for notes on why this is the way it is. |
For avif, jxl, png and tif: yes if you want, but I'm not really convinced it's worth it just for symmetry. As far as I know, all of these libraries only have one implementation, which is numbered in a straightforward integer sequence (no For webp: not trivially, we'd have to add a second option, and I'd prefer not to get into that for a stable-branch bug-fix, particularly when Autotools is on its way out (present in 2.x but deleted from 3.x). |

This is just for completeness: there is not the same requirement for this as with libjpeg, because there's only one implementation of each of the other libraries. webp is not included in this, because that would require inventing syntax for specifying the SONAME of libwebp and libwebpdemux separately.

I added a commit to give these libraries the same treatment, which you can take or not take as you prefer. I'd personally suggest not cherry-picking this one to 2.8.x. |

Merged and the JPEG library fix is merged to release-2.8.x. |
