Your code appears to be a lightly modified version of openslide-tiffdump.c
with our copyright statements removed and your name added.  Since you have
also unnecessarily renamed functions, reordered functions, changed the
indentation, etc., it's not clear to me what was changed or why.

If you want to have your changes accepted into OpenSlide, you need to
create a Git branch -- based on OpenSlide master -- containing a series of
small commits that each accomplish exactly one thing.  I can't merge your
changes if I can't understand them.

OpenSlide renders decoded image data to a Cairo surface.  You should be
able to use the existing JPEG backend (openslide-ops-jpeg.c) to do this.
