It lists packages that must be there to be able to build this packages,
and it states what this package offers to other packages.

Indeed.

It defines the include files to be installed globally and which then can
be used by other programs and libraries.

It is indeed used for compiling the C files. And yes, jconfig.h is a
fixed configuration.

Ok.

It's an incompatibility between jpegv9 and libtiff which is said to be
fixed in jpegv9a (not yet released), thus I'd recommend taking
(temporarily) over the changes to the definition of TRUE and FALSE from
jpegv9a's version of jmorecfg.h.
