Done, configure with --with-libjpeg=/usr/local/lib (by default,
configure would fine 8b but the linker option for povray would omit
-L/usr/local/lib, which result in aborted render when used with +fj due
to a mismatch: expecting libjpeg 80, 62 found... so adding the option to
configure really helps)

Render with new version (8b) is ok for +fj +ua (but image remains as
previously: no checkered alpha displayed in my visualisation programs
(imagemagick display & eye of gnome) on ubuntu 10.4 amd64 from source.
(beta38 level). +fn is ok on that aspect of alpha.

It might very well be a 32 bit specific issue for 8b.

P.S.: the data information on image 8b & 62 are identicals, should I had
expected any difference ?
