what other image formats do we support?  I assume we'll extend it for  
the new format style once that exists.

I feel like I'm missing something here.  I agree that IH_TYPE_MULTI  
needs to be supported, but I don't see why the code doesn't work for  
the bulk of the other IH_TYPE_* variants.  It appears the only  
compression types we support today ore NONE, GZIP, and BZIP2.

So what am I missing?
