/*
 * The arithmetic coding option of the JPEG standard specifies Q-coding,
 * which is covered by patents held by IBM (and possibly AT&T and Mitsubishi).
 * At this time it does not appear to be legal for the Independent JPEG
 * Group to distribute software that implements arithmetic coding.
 * We have therefore removed arithmetic coding support from the
 * distributed source code.
 *
 * We're not happy about it either.
