Fix Bumblebee libturbojpeg.so Issue In Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander

In Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander), it seems that the libturbojpeg .so filename has changed from libturbojpeg.so to libturbojpeg.so.0 and this breaks Bumblebee. Below you'll find a quick fix for this issue.

On my Ubuntu 13.10 laptop I got the following error when trying to run "optirun":

"error while loading shared libraries: libturbojpeg.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

If this occurs on your Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander laptop, fix it by using the following command:

- 32bit:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libturbojpeg.so.0 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libturbojpeg.so

- 64bit:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libturbojpeg.so.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libturbojpeg.so

Bumblebee should then work:
