Hmm.  JPEG XR is supported by ImageMagick, which calls out to jxrlib's 
command-line programs, and FreeImage >= 3.16, which bundles it (and just 
about everything else, it seems).  Neither Fedora nor Debian are 
packaging 3.16 yet.  FreeImage is GPLv2/GPLv3/"FreeImage Public 
License", which Fedora spells "MPLv1.0":

We should probably just use libjxr directly, though we might need to 
make it an optional dependency for a while.  It's already packaged in 
Debian jessie and Ubuntu >= saucy.  (Hi Mathieu!)
