It's only hard if you use more than one image format per
output type. Otherwise Norman's stylesheets allow you to
trivially set the extension for that format. This fails only
in the tex output case, because tex is formatted into both
pdf and ps.

I assume we're talking the same thing here, and that you
use this technique only because you use BOTH gifs and
jpegs in the same document when it's formatted as html?
