Ciao Graham, I am extremely interested in what you are talking about, for a simple reason, I would like to do something like that for building piramids on the fly and store them outside the original file when accessing large raster with no native overviews. I think the best thing you can start from in geotools is Jody plugin for tiled sources (which I think you might be already using). However, looking at the bigger picture I would urge you to consider an integration/reuse of the backend of GeoWebcache to achieve this task, which some modifications of course. I think that with some good old thinking + collaboration we could share the same engine for various purposes.
