Component body

Removes EXIF metadata from uploaded images. In future versions I hope to have options to allow either the system or an individual user (with proper permissions) to re-add geotags to the image.

Ideally, the module could have configurable which metadata values to strip and which to keep.

How it works:
On file upload, it checks to see if the file has a mimetype of "image/jpeg". If it does, it uses ImageMagick to strip the metadata and resave.

Requires: ImageMagick
