I can only seem to find a Windows binary (http://www.xeraina.ch/pgf/pgfdownload.html)

AFAIK, PGF is like JPEG2000 but faster and with somewhat worse compression. Like JPEG it performs well on photographs but not at all on artificial images / line art / diagrams etc.
Also it is not extremely popular or well-known.

We could include it in the evaluation though...

​Oh right, I didn't consider that. Given that it's not also popular, feel
free to ignore.​
