Quick answer, this should be just another Image subclass. Depending on 
how different the file format is from what we already have, it will 
take more or less effort to implement. (Did a brief search but couldn't 
find a good description of the format, most sites talk about the image 
data compression, which Exiv2 would simply skip).
