Reorganize source to make things easier to find - Move all libjpeg documentation, except for README.ijg, into the doc/ subdirectory. - Move the TurboJPEG C API documentation from doc/html/ into doc/turbojpeg/. - Move all C source code and headers into a src/ subdirectory. - Move turbojpeg-jni.c into the java/ subdirectory. Referring to #226, there is no ideal solution to this problem. A semantically ideal solution would have involved placing all source code, including the SIMD and Java source code, under src/ (or perhaps placing C library source code under lib/ and C test program source code under test/), all header files under include/, and all documentation under doc/. However: - To me it makes more sense to have separate top-level directories for each language, since the SIMD extensions and the Java API are technically optional features. src/ now contains only the code that is relevant to the core C API libraries and associated programs. - I didn't want to bury the java/ and simd/ directories or add a level of depth to them, since both directories already contain source code that is 3-4 levels deep. - I would prefer not to separate the header files from the C source code, because: 1. It would be disruptive. libjpeg and libjpeg-turbo have historically placed C source code and headers in the same directory, and people who are familiar with both projects (self included) are used to looking for the headers in the same directory as the C source code. 2. In terms of how the headers are used internally in libjpeg-turbo, the distinction between public and private headers is a bit fuzzy. - It didn't make sense to separate the test source code from the library source code, since there is not a clear distinction in some cases. (For instance, the IJG image I/O functions are used by cjpeg and djpeg as well as by the TurboJPEG API.) This solution is minimally disruptive, since it keeps all C source code and headers together and keeps java/ and simd/ as top-level directories. It is a bit awkward, because java/ and simd/ technically contain source code, even though they are not under src/. However, other solutions would have been more awkward for different reasons. Closes #226

libjpeg-turbo is a JPEG image codec that uses SIMD instructions to accelerate baseline JPEG compression and decompression on x86, x86-64, Arm, PowerPC, and MIPS systems, as well as progressive JPEG compression on x86, x86-64, and Arm systems. On such systems, libjpeg-turbo is generally 2-6x as fast as libjpeg, all else being equal. On other types of systems, libjpeg-turbo can still outperform libjpeg by a significant amount, by virtue of its highly-optimized Huffman coding routines. In many cases, the performance of libjpeg-turbo rivals that of proprietary high-speed JPEG codecs. libjpeg-turbo implements both the traditional libjpeg API as well as the less powerful but more straightforward TurboJPEG API. libjpeg-turbo also features colorspace extensions that allow it to compress from/decompress to 32-bit and big-endian pixel buffers (RGBX, XBGR, etc.), as well as a full-featured Java interface. libjpeg-turbo was originally based on libjpeg/SIMD, an MMX-accelerated derivative of libjpeg v6b developed by Miyasaka Masaru. The TigerVNC and VirtualGL projects made numerous enhancements to the codec in 2009, and in early 2010, libjpeg-turbo spun off into an independent project, with the goal of making high-speed JPEG compression/decompression technology available to a broader range of users and developers. libjpeg-turbo is an ISO/IEC and ITU-T reference implementation of the JPEG standard.
