Comment 7 for bug 158435

The c code code is checked into cvs now. If you refresh your tree, you should see it in petabox/sw/books/microfilm/jpgtojp2. If you type "make" in that directory, it should build. If it doesn't, please let me know.

Next step is to patch the php layer to use it in case of microfilm newspapers. For that, please send me any advice or cautions or concerns you have.

(Just for the record, for the c code itself, i think the biggest deficiency is that it doesn't copy exif data. But for the mekel microfilm, there isn't any exif data, so my plan is to postpone dealing with that until after the microfilm loop is completely closed. Hope to discuss the issue with Hank then. And there are lots of other ways it could be improved. For example, some of the libraries it uses, like leptonica, aren't part of our standard distribution, so i just pointed to copies in my home area. It is statically linked so hopefully this won't be an issue. And it is in cvs so anybody who wants to can fix or update any part of the code, or the makefile --- which could be made shorter be summarizing this pile of rules, one for every .o file, into 2 or 3 general rules.)
