[ale] JPEG compression utility

[Dow Hurst]

Bob,
I am not a web developer so have no experience here, however, PNG would 
be a good picture format to use for small image size and good quality.  
Someone else on the list will tell you how to run GIMP or some image 
conversion tool via a bash script.  Just a simple loop calling the 
conversion program of choice is what you need.  It would be nice if 
there is a Perl image conversion utility or module for this.
