[SWLUG] BMP to JPG

[Davage, Marcus]

I installed Imagemagick and tried the suggested method:
	for i in *.bmp
	do
		convert $i `basename $i .bmp`.jpg
	done
and, after a few tweaks (the filenames contain spaces and the occasional
"!", so I had to use double-quotes and variables substitution), managed to
get it working. It converted some 300 bitmaps to jpeg in less than a minute
- cool! I was also able to save some 400MB of disk space too!
