    Reader for JPEG images.

    This is a quick&dirty hack, using the PD djpeg tool to convert 
    the JPG image to GIF first, then reads the GIF image using GIFReader.

    Of course, this is slower than it should be. If lots of JPG reading
    is done, this class should be rewritten, to directly call the (C) JPG
    decoding functions.

    Only reading of files is supported.

    CAVEAT:
        you have to have the djpeg program installed.
