Code to create "quicklook" JPEGs for use in the STScI/MAST archive

make-jpeg

Create a JPEG file from a RAW, FLT, or FLC FITS file from the ACS or WFC3 instrument. Currently, other instruments (e.g. STIS) and other filetyles (e.g. IMA) are not not supported, but likely the code could be easily extended to support these.
