No, epeg is dead, even more dead than imlib2.  I think the current
replacement library from the E project for both these libraries
is the "evas" library.  I had plans to convert phoghorn to evas
someday (and make an evas egg), but I don't currently use phoghorn
anymore.

I think you could easily hack out the epeg bits; imlib2 supports
jpeg as well, I think.
