There are quite a few disk image formats and some allow almost anything in the image. Even the 2mg format has documented support for 3 types of images and there have been less well documented attempts to add more image types. So any code written to use disk images in a GS would have to determine what format the image is (it can't just look at the file extension) and it would have to determine if there was enough memory available to handle the image. A 2mg, .po, or .hdv image *can* be just under 32MBytes. I believe all of this can be done if you don't expect it to handle everything. I'm not sure it's worth the effort though.
