Multiple images per client... interesting feature. At the moment it
should be quite easy to setup Linux/Windows dual-boot clients, following
the raw-disk cloning howto:
http://wiki.systemimager.org/index.php/HOWTO_raw-disk_cloning_with_SystemImager

You could just install the Windows partition in the raw-disk way first
and, instead of rebooting, at the end of raw-disk installing script, just
quit and continue to install the Linux partitions as usual.

Setting up a client with multiple images in general needs some hacks at
the moment, or at least you need to install each single image per time
and keep attention at the different disk partitioning schemas, to remove
potential partition overlaps.
