You might also want to look into Exiv2 -- it's really fast (C++ and no recompression), it's command line, and it also provides a library for EXIF manipulation you can link against. I don't know how many Linux distros make it available, but in CentOS it's currently available in the base repo.

Usage:

exiv2 rm image.jpg
