New description:

 This tasks belongs to the Objective 0.1.6f specified in the
 [wiki:WKTRaster WKT Raster]
 [wiki:WKTRaster/PlanningAndFunding roadmap]

 As stated at the end of the comment 5 of the "Specification Comments
 following the Code Sprint" section of the working specifications, this
 function should be a PL/pgSQL wrapper around a more general
 ST_AsImage(format, params) function using GDAL to convert any raster to an
 image.

 The function should return a bytea.

 This function is particularly sensible to the number of band present in
 the raster as it normally needs 3 band (r,g,b).

 It is also very sensible to the pixel type of the raster since JPEG
 supports only values in the 0-255 range.

 See the working specifications for more details/questions.

 Priority should be given to these variants:

 ST_AsJPEG(raster, integer)[[BR]]
 ST_AsJPEG(raster, integer, integer, integer, integer)[[BR]]
 ST_AsJPEG(raster, integer, "GRAYSCALE", integer, min, max, text)[[BR]]
