  Broken Mac OS X build - help appreciated

Hi folks,

Commit 5219e71c does not compile on Mac OS X, and I'm not really sure why.

The build runs into a compile error in `base/image/jpeg.cpp`, in which 
`TRUE` is passed to a JPEG lib function parameter of type `boolean`.

Now by some quirks of the include hierarchy, a header file 
`mach/boolean.h` is pulled in (apparently _after_ `<jpeglib.h>`), and 
defines `TRUE` as `1`, while JPEGlib apparently wants it to be... well, 
something else apparently, fitting the type `boolean` - whatever that 
might end up being defined as.

I'll be pushing a workaround any moment now, but I'd really like to know 
what's going on there. If someone with better access to a Mac system (or 
maybe just a different pair of Mk1 eyeballs) could have a look into 
this, I'd greatly appreciate it.
