Jpeg Encoder in VTK?

[David Gobbi]

Another class that would be nice is a vtkImageAnyWriter(),
which would have a SetFileFormat() method and/or automatically
identify the file format from from the filename extension.
It would simply create the appropriate vtkImageWriter subclass
and use that to write the file.
