[sldev] OpenJPEG vs KDU

[Dirk Moerenhout]

Great, the work of you and Callum combined brings us probably already
very close to the target. From LL's point of view it's clear: as soon
as OpenJPEG competes on speed with KDU, KDU can be replaced. If Callum
posts the current status of his patch we can see where we are in terms
of beating KDU.

Do you by any chance have already coded up something that calls KDU
thru llkdu? I'm not exactly planning to pay 250AU$ to get the library
:)
