I've started working on it out-of-tree. Apparently, the NLS stuff is in programs/localized/$LOCALE/types/*.dt.tmsg (mostly _common.dt.tmsg, but also some databases that are per-file). Looking at things again, it rather seems like miscImages.dt should be installed in CDE_INSTALLATION_TOP/appconfig/LOCALE/type/; the extra image formats could go in datatypes.dt or miscImages.dt. Most of this seems to be just shy of copy-pasteable; basically the main change between image formats is the string describing the name, which usually isn't translated.
