CF: How do I create a .jpg file from a .bmp file or bitmap?

I'm working on a project using the .NET Compact Framework which
doesn't support saving Bitmaps to files. I've successfully made a
routine to save a bitmap to a .bmp file. But I'm now in need of a
tool to save the bitmap or the .bmp file to .jpg format.

I've seen many libraries not supporting NET, and only one (FreeImage)
supporting NET but only on windows. So, is there any way to achieve
saving to .jpg on a smartphone 2003?

GDI+ has the facilities for saving to .jpg, but I am not certain how much of
this translates to the Compact Framework, with its smaller footprint. Here is
an article I drumed up rather quickly (sure there are better):
