FWIW I have been sending requests to LizardTech for (what I believe are 
BASIC) enhancements to their software for years now (things such as 
multi-threading of code etc). While I get 'verbal' support (ie sounds like 
a great idea), no results have been forthcoming.
On another point raised we have successfully written extract programs with 
the Image Server base code on Solaris (using simple perl). Once you get 
your head around how the extract routines work it's pretty straight 
forward.
 A keen programmer should be able to expand on this using the Geotiff 
extract format and passing this back to Mapserver.
Scale dependance factors would need to be taken into account to reduce 
extract time and disk space.
I'd be happy to go offline with this subject with interested parties to 
discuss how this could be achieved, and then respond back to the list with 
options.
Regards,
Shaun
