Indeed. In fact, we should not add any code at all to gnuplot
if the conversion can be done externally. And it can, easily.
Since ImageMagick can convert almost anything to a raw RGB stream,
I'd think you can do it now with no extra code at all:

	plot "< convert pic.jpeg rgb:-" with image 

If you need to tweak the code to make that work, then please
do so and post a patch.  If it works already, just contribute
some documentation.
