I think this looks good.

The plan as such is ok, although you will probably need to rewrite the
latest version of do_image posted to this ML[1] completely.  Starting
out to read the code, I was tempted to post some specific remarks about
the code, but quickly realized that this is not a good attempt to move
further here.

The code really needs to be rewritten in a clean fashion using common
programming metaphors, style and library functions (i.e. use getopt(3),
etc.).

Cheers
