this implements a bitstream change; the header now contains a compressed huffman tree rather than the frequency counts (as discussed)
 
pardon my inability to use diff correctly.  The change in toplevel.c is trivial (new function names & params)
huffman.c is the important one.  I doubt anyone has touched it in a while so I suggest you use this (pulled out of CVS in the last couple days)

                Well, a good reason to encode at superblock boundaries is that it
        makes an encoder's life (and source code) much simpler...:) Actually, to
        make it *really* easy, with no corner cases, the dimensions need to be
        divisible by 64 (so the U & V planes line up on 32-sample boundaries).
        
                I understand that the point of the superblocks and the associated
        Hilbert coding scan is to maximize proximate similarities (based on the
        principle that pixels close to each other tend to be similar). This will
        be true for most of the image frame; only the outlying areas (right and
        bottom) will not have the benefit of as many neighboring pixels.
