I have the same religious leanings as you Paul, and thankfully I don't
have the smarts to deal with things in "SVN branches" lest I be
tempted.

Interestingly, apparently the "leading spatial data engine" and the
"leading database spatial" working together can do this image indexing
business, retrieving only the requested bits and pieces of images.
Considering a solution using our favorite open source products
requires me to know what I can do, and how. Thanks to your tip, I will
now pursue an education in TILEINDEXing.
