I was faced with the same question a few months ago and could not find a
simple solution, so I wrote my own group of C++ classes and functions to
accomplish this for GIFs and JPEGs.  I have a link to more information
and a downloadable copy with build instructions for CXX and MSVC on my
homepage at <http://www.execpc.com/~edurant/> under "ImageSize C++
Library."

The functions are general purpose, but have various features which make
them easy to use for building Web pages on-the-fly.  Source for a command
line interface and an HTML collage-builder are included.
