I would suggest to look a bit deeper at why it is needed first - and
then try to change the root cause.

I've been using the jpgeint.h CSTATE_* defines for optimized decoder
loops (i.e. stoping decoding as soon as the size is known). This is a very
specialized application, and I realy needed this (since libjpeg decoding
is awfully slow). I can't realy thing of other common uses of jpegint.h,
and this could be abstracted into a few state-checking macros.

I think that 

 - either graphics/jpeg should install the jpegint.h header - since some
   applications need it (as the comment in that file suggests)
 - or we should convince the libjpeg people to add the missing state-checking
   macros to jpeg.h (like #define JPEG_DECODE_PROPS_KNOWN(state)
   ((state)>=202), and probably a few others)
