From a practical point of view, I would have to either write the

libjpeg is included in all Linux distros but yes for Windows/mac it
would add a dependency.
It could be a configure option not enabled by default
For scientific work, e.g. image processing, having to use an
external library for the conversions would add
a dependency as well for the user.
I'd rather have a dependency requirement that could be met at runtime
and by many programs than a dependency that was required at compile
time and/or runtime (depending on how you compiled PNGwriter) and was
met only by libjpeg. Seems simpler to me.
