It looks like extreme stupidity from libjpeg. Distributed autogenerated
headers that reflect system configuration is dumb for many many reasons. I
don't see an easy work around. Perhaps if theres a way to disable that
particular warning or at least make that warning non-fatal. Or we could
check if that autoconf #define is actually used by Nautilus anywhere...
Or we could simply #undef it before the #include... So many bad solutions
to chose from :-(

Most Nautilus developers use RedHat so they're probably lagging behind a
few library versions (or perhaps since this is autogenerated its different
on RedHat systems). I use Debian but I haven't build Nautilus for a while.

I remember someone supplied some faster jpeg thumbnailing code a while ago.
I assume its from that.
