I found a better solution. The JPEG plug-in will now prompt the user
with a dialog, even if called from the "Save" action, iff the image does
not have the "jpeg-save-options" parasite set. This is basically what
Guillermo suggested earlier. I said it would be difficult to implement
but it turned out that it was quite easy and doesn't require changes to
the file plug-in infrastructure.

The change is in SVN and I think we can settle this issue now. If
someone wants to try to recover some of the JPEG save settings when
loading the JPEG file, feel free.
