Alchemy JPG Encoder

If you are following Alchemy forum discussions you'll discover that metalbot created a first simple Alchemy wrapper around the encoding part of libjpeg.

Alrighty, here's a simple wrapper around the encoding part of libjpeg.
It uses a custom destination manager (some semi-obscure libjpeg feature) to avoid the whole FILE* issue.
You'll need to get libjpeg separately. there's a README.txt in my .tgz file that glosses over the steps.

That is quite interesting because this part unfortunately was somewhat slow. I guess some final testing is required to prove that the Alchemy wrapper (especially the encoding stuff) is faster than the JPGEncoder of the as3corelib.
