   I cheat -- I hook up a custom IO hook/callback and essentially run listgeo to a 
temporary in-memory pseudo file. Then, I use the corresponding call to reinsert that data 
into the new GeoTIFF.

   You can go even easier and just dump it to a real file in a temp directory and clean it 
up later.
