Hi all As I'm sure you're aware, Google announced a new image format a couple of days ago, intended to replace JPEG for images on the web. I've been playing around with it, and although we don't know yet whether it will take off, I thought it would be fun to make NetSurf one of the first (if not _the_ first) web browser to support the new format. The attached patch adds this support, using Google's "libwebp" (which is actually the source code file webpimg.c I've dropped in - with minor tweaks - it doesn't build itself as a real library). Caveats: 1. The conversion is an endian-aware conversion to RGBA. This is fine for big-endian platforms, but on little-endian the byte order will be wrong for NetSurf. 2. It requires libvpx. Much porting fun. For those reasons I've enabled support for WebP only on the Amiga platform build - that's all I'm in a position to test at the moment. I suggest testing and enabling/adding the makefile/makefile.defaults lines on a platform-by-platform basis. If everybody is happy I'll commit it.

I can import the libwebp code and tweak the makefile to create a proper library? In theory once the code is more mature the official makefile will be doing this, and then we can remove it again from SVN? Saves creating our own library and still keeps Google's stuff out of NetSurf's code.
