I don't quite understand this part. So the gdal extension (which drags in gt-imageio-ext and a bunch of imageio-ext-gdal* jars) requires also that the gt-imagemosaic module be around as well?

So you have to have the the native libs around regardless. So coudl this still not work the same way? First install the native gdal libs and make available to the JVM.
