Deep Zoom Composer needs Automation

I thought that a nice feature for my KlipschCorner System Profiles Area might be a deep zoom for the people who upload very high res photos.  I quickly realized I do not currently see any way to automate the creation of the Deep Zoom .bin files needed by the MultiScaleImage control.  One step beyond automation, it ought to be available in a server-side Silverlight API for the many people in hosted environmnets where they may not be able to install Deep Zoom Composer and shell execute an .exe.

You can create DZ images programatically using the SparseImageTool.exe executable that is installed as part of the Deep Zoom installation. You just need to dynamically generate the XML file that the tool reads in.
