Rotation by multiples of 90 will be supported in 2.6. 
Note that for jpegs, you will likely want something else,
since jpeg->pixbuf->rotated pixbuf->jpeg is a lossy transformation.
So at least if you want to save the rotated jpegs, you should
try to rotate the jpeg coefficient matrix directly. I don't
know if libjpeg supports that, though.
