This seems like the most flexible option to me.

Over in Gentoo land, we could introduce a portage use flag that would translate into a gyp definition and enable or disable the "swizzle" code explicitly.

This would also allow us to add libjpeg-turbo as an optional dependency; if the user enables the use flag, we hard depend on libjpeg-turbo. If they disable it, we depend on either libjpeg or libjpeg-turbo.

Other distros could make the decision when they build packages.

Just my 2 cents as a user and a Gentoo dev. Hopefully Pawel agrees with me.
