Ciao Greg,
I have talked to daniele, and right now he is pretty much stuffed (as
I am 
), therefore the best option, if you have some hours to spend
on this now, if you could try to extend imageio-ext to support arcinfo
binary through gdal. Since gdal supports this format by default it
should be as easy as creating 2 or 3 classes for SPIs in imageioext as
well as in the geotools imageio-ext-gdal, and you should be able to
use arcinfo binary in geoserver 1.7 right away. Of course we can guide
you through the process.
Simone.

Hi Daniele,
Thanks for getting back to me. I spoke with my boss, and it looks like I
can get some time to work on this in December. It might make a nice
Christmas present In the mean time, I'll take a look at ImageIO-Ext.
Cheers,
Greg

Hi Greg,
actually I'm busy with some deadlines of funded projects.
Anyway, to support Binary Arc/Info we need to define and implement a new
ImageIO plugin (via our ImageIO-Ext GDAL framework) as well as a new
Geotools plugin. After this we need to integrate them on Geoserver. This
would require some days of work.
Waiting for your opinions,
regards.
Daniele

Ciao Greg,
GeoTools and therefore GeoServer does not support this format as of now.
As you noticed, it is supported by GDAL, which means we can support it
inside geotools/geoserver quite easily through the imageio-ext [1]
project and its geotools/geoserver counterpart [2][3].
We have not added support for it so far becasue of lack of interest,
but it seems that things have changed :-).
I am ccing daniele so that he willprovide more details on this.
Simone.
