The current lang/openjdk7 package seems to pick up jpeg headers from
/usr/pkg/include anyway.

With the most recent update to libjpeg-turbo the installed headers
have diverged enough from the copy of jpeg-6b in the lang/openjdk7
source tree that you get the error described in PR 46055.

Is there any reason not to switch to pkgsrc jpeg ?
