Ticket #22441 (closed defect: fixed)
libdevil port is very out of date

Description
libdevil port is at version 1.6.8 but the current stable release for the DevIL library is 1.7.8. This makes the libdevil port about 3 years out of date.
I have an application that relies on libdevil and it is not working correctly on macosx because the port is so ancient.

- Cc blb@… added
Attached is a patch to update libdevil with the following:
- update to 1.7.8
- add jasper as a dependency since it links against it by default
- explicitly disable EXR so it doesn't try to use it (we could always add that as a variant)
- install some docs
- properly handle the build arch of the system (i386, x86_64, ppc)
