As Moose says, some software applications (BreezeBrowser included) do
lossless rotation of JPEGs. But the way that is done is to simply set
the EXIF flag that says show this as vertical instead of horizontal.
Whether it's effective or not depends on whether the next piece of
software to pick up the image is smart enough to check the orientation
and honor it.
