Removing exif data using a filter

I'm interesting in making an export addin that uploads a low-res image.
I want this file to be as small as possible.  Therefore I want the exif
data stripped out of the file.  Is this possible with the current
Filters that are available?  If not, what is the best way of doing this?

Thanks.

please check, most of the exporters allow to strip metadata from files.

I only see a couple.  Flickr and 23hq, yet the checkbox doesn't seem to
do anything.  After tracking down the code, I see it reads the checkbox
value for stripping metadata into a private bool variable called
copy_metadata, which it then doesn't do anything with.  Please show me
if I am missing something.

Can anyone point me directly to code that is stripping exif data or
outline the general idea of how it should be done?
