Ideally you should submit them upstream. Though of course xmlrpc-epi
upstream seems to be quite dead, and jpeglib seems effectively dead as
well, despite its near universal usage...

Robin's working on putting together a revived xmlrpc-epi upstream. Any
changes LL needs should be integrated. The only change I don't really
understand is the iconv one. What are the consequences of forcing UTF8?
I have been running without such a patch in my Fedora package, and it
seems to work. Should this be #ifdef WIN32 or something?
