Okay, I just tried out the FTP "REST" part of the puzzle, and found a bug in it in all current versions of Hijack. I'll release a v241 that fixes it shortly. But with the fix, it is indeed possible to FTP just to the tail end of the /proc/empeg_kernel flash partition.

So we could easily use this as a mechanism for custom animations. I won't implement it in Hijack until somebody actually needs it, though. In the meanwhile, what do we (all three of us, I suspect) think of the proposal?
