Currently there is no command available to do  this.  Actually,  ther
eis  very  little  support for the handling of the misc image types -
the only thing which is really supported is  what's  needed  to  boot
Linux with or without ramdisk images.

For example, you can use autoscr to execute the contents of a  script
images - but it will not handle a compressed script image (yet).

So all you can do is implement the required features,  and  send  the
patches.

No, this won;t work. You have to add new code.
