Need reviewer: Exceptions to mapfile rule on shared libraries

[Phil Race]

For jpeg its something we could consider for JDK 8 although I think its been
called libjpeg since JDK 1.0 without apparent problems.
But this JDK libxinerama is only for Solaris (SPARC, specifically), and 
on Solaris
Xinerama functionality has always lived in libXext.so, so there's no clash.
Solaris 11 SPARC (with X.org) is the only case this might be an issue.
