John McIntosh,

After porting (most of) your TIFF plugin to Win32 early this year, I
concluded that LIBTIFF was happy to write JPEG-compressed TIFFs, but some
major hacking would be required to get it to write JPEG files.  If I'm
wrong though, it would be really nice to have one plugin that uses the same
underlying API to read and write TIFFs and JPEGs, rather than having to
wrap LIBJPEG separately.  What do you think?
