I tried a stab at this last weekend. Unfortunately, this has proven to be
tedious and difficult, for several reasons:

* Upstream CxImage is a Windows only package, cluttered with and depending on
Windows-proprietary stuff.
* Upstream CxImage contains a hacked-up version of dcraw, which collides with
the version in Fedora.
* xbmc's cximage is a hacked-up version of CxImage-6.0.0, which seemingly has
been brutally hacked up to make "most parts of it kind-a-compile" under
non-Windows systems (i.e. it's far from being a proper port).

Also, AFAICT, CxImage upstream (http://www.xdp.it) appears to be dead. 
The latest updates seem to be from 2008.

=> IMO, splitting out cximage into a separate package likely would be a major
rework of cximage, which very likely would end up as a real fork.

=> For now, I'd say, let's keep the bundled cximage.
