I finessed the length issue slightly since it happens that the word before the payload is the payload's length. I'm mulling a variety of options: * declare it compression scheme dependant. At least for gzip it knows when it has reached the end. * codify the length followed by data thing we happen to have now * add a length field to the header, using another 4 bytes (is there any pressure on the size of the header?). I'd probably go with the later unless we are pressed for space in the header.
I would agree with that. In fact, while we're adding fields to the header, I would like to add a field that would be the CRC32 (or other simple integrity check) over the whole image.
