[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] Name clash when using the system libjpeg

[Phil Race]

The "j2" idea presumably comes from "Java 2" which was a marketing invention
for JDK 1.2 in 1998 and has since been purged from all our docs, file 
names etc etc ..
so it would not be my choice. Consider it obsolete / deprecated ..

So  libjavajpeg.so would be better.

Presumably libjavajpeg.so would also be just the 'stub' code that via JNI
interfaces to the exported interfaces of the system libjpeg ?
