That was really great help. Thank a ton. The problem of identifying an
image as progressive or not is solved.

The problem left is to convert all my current jpegs into progressive
ones. jpegtran did the job (the following is one long command):
$> for f in *.jpg; do echo "$f"; mv "$f" tmp.jpg; jpegtran  -progressive
tmp.jpg  > "$f"; rm -f tmp.jpg; done

(I am sure there is a way to use the stdout and stdin in this procedure
instead of tmp.jpg, but I didn't check)
