I think now, having evaluated it more using the jpeg headers (and png, etc - whatever supports such a thing) (starting with jpeg)... so - I could clearly wrap rdjpegcom abd wrjpegcom, but as these are just part of the jpeg library it would clearly be better to link to the library and do the work myself.
