Server side. Pick up the width/height of the image with php or another
server side scripting language, and take that width to go in the width
setting for the div. Obviously, you'd set the width for each div in an
inline style then, not in the stylesheet.
Without server side scripting it would just have to be coded by hand.

If you'd float the div without setting a width, it actually would
'shrink-wrap' around the image. It's the caption that may cause it to
stretch wider than the image.
It doesn't necessarily know the height of the image, but it just
closes at the end of the content. Which is good, otherwise you could
never have flexible text-flow or font-size inside a div without
serious problems :-)
