This eliminates "illegal instruction" errors when running libjpeg-turbo
under Linux on PowerPC chips that lack AltiVec support (e.g. the old
7XX/G3 models but also the newer e5500 series.)
The IJG convention is to format copyright notices as:
Copyright (C) YYYY, Owner.
We try to maintain this convention for any code that is part of the
libjpeg API library (with the exception of preserving the copyright
notices from Cendio's code verbatim, since those predate
libjpeg-turbo.)
Note that the phrase "All Rights Reserved" is no longer necessary, since
all Buenos Aires Convention signatories signed onto the Berne Convention
in 2000. However, our convention is to retain this phrase for any files
that have a self-contained copyright header but to leave it off of any
files that refer to another file for conditions of distribution and use.
For instance, all of the non-SIMD files in the libjpeg API library refer
to README.ijg, and the copyright message in that file contains "All
Rights Reserved", so it is unnecessary to add it to the individual
files.
The TurboJPEG code retains my preferred formatting convention for
copyright notices, which is based on that of VirtualGL (where the
TurboJPEG API originated.)
The convention used by libjpeg:
type * variable;
is not very common anymore, because it looks too much like
multiplication. Some (particularly C++ programmers) prefer to tuck the
pointer symbol against the type:
type* variable;
to emphasize that a pointer to a type is effectively a new type.
However, this can also be confusing, since defining multiple variables
on the same line would not work properly:
type* variable1, variable2; /* Only variable1 is actually a
pointer. */
This commit reformats the entirety of the libjpeg-turbo code base so
that it uses the same code formatting convention for pointers that the
TurboJPEG API code uses:
type *variable1, *variable2;
This seems to be the most common convention among C programmers, and
it is the convention used by other codec libraries, such as libpng and
libtiff.
Full-color compression speedups relative to libjpeg-turbo 1.4.2:

Performance-neutral (give or take a few percent)
Full-color compression speedups relative to IPP:
2.8 GHz Intel Xeon W3530, Linux, 64-bit: 4.8-34% (avg. 19%)
2.8 GHz Intel Xeon W3530, Linux, 32-bit: -19%-7.0% (avg. -7.0%)
Refer to #42 for discussion. Numerous other approaches were attempted,
but this one proved to be the most performant across all platforms.
This commit also fixes#3 (works around, really-- the clang-compiled version
of jchuff.c still performs 20% worse than its GCC-compiled counterpart, but
that code is now bypassed by the new SSE2 Huffman algorithm.)
