[HDRI] Support for JPEG HDR?

Hey quiet list!

I have a couple of questions for Greg and anyone else who is on top  
of this:

- What viewing software (aside from Photosphere) supports the full  
decoding of the JPEG HDR file format?
- What utilities are available for the non-commercial conversion of  
HDR files to JPEG HDR (on a server)? (Should I be talking to  
Brightside?)
- Are there any common graphics toolkits (like ImageMagick, NetPBM,  
etc.) that can non-destructively transform HDR images?

If you can't tell where I'm going with this, then let me explain: I'd  
basically like to set up a web-based "gallery" of LDR and HDR images  
with dynamic content processed by the server. Files in common HDR  
formats could be uploaded and the server would handle things like  
thumbnails, resizing, gathering image data, and converting to browser- 
viewable JPEG HDR. (The HDR version would then be "inspectable" upon  
downloading the JPEG HDR) I've got all the pieces except HDR support...
