In the call

  (ffi-lib "libjpeg" '("62" ""))

'("62" "") requests version 6.2, but it settles for a versionless
library (which is typically linked to some specific version). The hack
at the definition of JPEG_LIB_VERSION determines which version was
actually loaded.

So, installing version 6.2 may avoid the problem, but I'm interested to
understand why version 8.3 didn't work out.
