Yeah, one of the annoying things of building large C packages is when
the maintainers don't care about warnings, and then legit errors get
lost in the spam.

Makes sense! Though if you're just doing a bitwise comparison of the
data chunks, it shouldn't be TOO hard to reinvent. JFIF is a
reasonably easy format to understand (although the mathematics of
image encoding and decoding are a bit less so).
