2ab4b72f53 EXPERIMENTAL: add support for alpha channel
This is a (minor) bitstream change: if the 'color_space' bit is set to '1'
(which is normally an undefined/invalid behaviour), we add extra data at the
end of partition #0 (so-called 'extensions')

Namely, we add the size of the extension data as 3 bytes (little-endian),
followed by a set of bits telling which extensions we're incorporating.
The data then _preceeds_ this trailing tags.

This is all experimental, and you'll need to have
'#define WEBP_EXPERIMENTAL_FEATURES' in webp/types.h to enable this code
(at your own risk! :))

Still, this hack produces almost-valid WebP file for decoders that don't
check this color_space bit. In particular, previous 'dwebp' (and for instance
Chrome) will recognize this files and decode them, but without the alpha
of course. Other decoder will just see random extra stuff at the end of
partition #0.

To experiment with the alpha-channel, you need to compile on Unix platform
and use PNGs for input/output.

If 'alpha.png' is a source with alpha channel, then you can try (on Unix):

  cwebp alpha.png -o alpha.webp
  dwebp alpha.webp -o test.png

cwebp now has a '-noalpha' flag to ignore any alpha information from the
source, if present.

More hacking and experimenting welcome!

cfbf88a6c4 add SSE2 functions. ~2x faster encoding on average.
For now, SSE2 functions are compiled a-minima: only on platforms
where __SSE2__ is defined. Let's later add some autoconf-based
config to enable/disable at will.

One can disable SSE2 at run-time by hooking-up VP8GetInfo.
There is a new option "-noasm" in cwebp for that.
Output should be binary the same between C and SSE2 version. If not,
that's a bug!

f8db5d5d1c more C89-fixes
going down to strict -ansi c89 is quite overkill (no 'inline',
and /* */-style comments).
But with these fixes, the code compiles with the stringent flags:
 -Wextra -Wold-style-definition -Wmissing-prototypes
 -Wmissing-declarations and -Wdeclaration-after-statement

650ffa3bbb add version getters for decoder and encoder
WebPGetDecoderVersion() and WebPGetEncoderVersion()
will not return 0.1.2 encoded as 0x000102

dwebp and cwebp also have a new "-version" flag

f61d14aabf a WebP encoder
converts PNG & JPEG to WebP

This is an experimental early version, with lot of room
of later optimizations in both speed and quality.

Compile with the usual `./configure && make`
Command line example is examples/cwebp

Usage:

   cwebp [options] -q quality input.png -o output.webp

where 'quality' is between 0 (poor) to 100 (very good).
Typical value is around 80.

More encoding options with 'cwebp -longhelp'
