Up to now, I've been preserving the original images by copying them to a
subdirectory, then mogrifying the ones in the higher directory.  That
way if I need the full-size, high-quality images for future editing I
still have them.  But it would be nice to have them rotated correctly
but losslessly for browsing them with GQView.

Thanks for that!
