I have a camera that sets "rotate 90" or "rotate 270" in EXIF data and I 
use a very simple script for rotating all the files automatically.

#!/bin/bash
for i in *.jpg; do
  cp -a $i out
  res=`jhead $i |grep rotate`
  if [ -n "$res" ]; then
    res=`echo $res|awk '{print "-" $3,$4}'`
    jhead -cmd "jpegtran $res &i >&o" out/$i
  fi
done

It copies normal files without changes and rotates images with rotate tag
via jpegtrans. It's not perfect (it doesn't clear the tag after rotating) 
but it works for me.

P.S I've just started playing with Hugin and I think it's already quite 
powerfull.
