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.
