Kyle, There are a number of external libraries where we are able to hook the IO functions for that sublibrary and route things through VSI*L. The GeotTIFF, MrSID, ECW and Shapefile drivers are all examples of this I believe. How it exactly works depends on the IO hooking mechanisms provided by the external library. Some provide no usable mechanism.
