It would be mighty handy for MySQL to have a binary file column type,
like Oracle, where the file was stored externally, outside of the rest
of the table data...  Anyone heard of any plans to implement this?

  Probaly :-)

  From this page:

  You can read on section 'General tips':

- Store BLOB's that you need to access as files in files. Store only the
file name in the database.

  But I guess it also depends on the image size.
