I agree that this is one of IDS's strong sides: It does *not* have a lot of
dependencies. (That is actually why I chose IDS in the first place. I also
looked at PhotoShelf, but it would have taken me a whole day to install... :-)

Using jpegtran could be an option. A configuration variable could specify the
location of jpegtran. If this variable is defined, jpegtran is called to do the
job - if undefined, the current code does it instead.
