I don't know what you are saying there is "no other way" to do - just to 
be clear, you can losslessly rotate JPEG images much of the time.  The 
jpegtran tool seems to do it in the Free Software world.  For example, the 
Gallery.menalto.com software offers to do this for JPEG files with a 
rotation flag set in their EXIF.
