Thanks; this isn't enough though. It must be .dylib on Mac, and the "lib" prefix is missing
on unix and mac.

ext=env['SHLIBSUFFIX'] solves the first part (in the non-windows part of the if of course),
but what about the libprefix?
I see self.libprefix in generic.py, do we need to put it in env[] so that libjpeg.py can use it?

I don't know; but I personally don't care much for a static libjpeg ;)

I'm so surprised that scons doesn't handle all of this already. We chose scons
to avoid developing our own solution from scratch, but in the end it really looks
like we have no other choice :(
