In those cases, the situation is really no different from using VirtualGL/TurboVNC on a system that doesn't have libjpeg-turbo. It would be technically possible to add an option to where VirtualGL and TurboVNC could be built with the system's version of libjpeg-turbo, but that would require moving the TurboJPEG wrapper back into the TurboVNC and VirtualGL code bases. It was moved out of there for a good reason: because it was a royal pain to maintain it in three places.
It would be nice if distro maintainers such as Fedora and ArchLinux would include TurboJPEG/OSS as a separate, optional package, rather than simply deleting it from their builds.
