Well, libjpeg is fairly easy to interface so adding JPEG support
should be trivial, however: jpeg is lossy, and artifacts like that
can really disturb an otherwise good scene. JPEG should only be used
for the final image, not for textures.

Besides, you'd only save disk space, not ram, and disk is cheap.
