Hi everybody,

Just a question about libjasper requirement : Digikam could work
without if you don't want to use JPEG-2000. Many applications handle
that at configure time, and do not compile that part if that optionnal
part is not there. I don't know if it's difficult to handle as I don't
know at lot about autoconf/automake stuff but is it possible for
digikam ?

Perhaps it's to late now as I think I've read somewhere that, with
KDE4, autoconf/automake will not be used. Perhaps it's somethink to
think about during the migration.
Being able to reduce the dependancies, at least at configure/compile
time is a good thing.
Even better (but it's probably not possible with actual tools) would
be to handle these requirements at run time, but I'm dreaming.

Regards,
  Loïc

P.S.:keep on doing this nice work.
