Currently, in order to do that, I have to find the source for mkimage, grab the default dtc options out of mkimage.h and then pass that set on the command line. It would be nice and only slightly more future proof if I could just pass the source file search paths separately.

So you mean the -i option? I think that would be valuable, yes.
Without it you need to put all your files in one directory, or
maintain the same directory structure in your release directory. It
gets really ugly. The -i option was added to deal with this and I
think it makes sense to make it available in mkimage.
