Kurt,

I haven't done a careful analysis of how hard it would be to add.
The NITF create code is currently rather simplistic, and assumes a fairly
fixed file and image header.  I did recently add support for TREs on the
file object which generalized things a little bit.

The code in question is NITFCreate() in gdal/frmts/nitf/nitffile.c.

Best regards,
