We used a different scheme - all images are stored in a top-level directory 
that is separate from the dynamic portions of the website. A simple sucker 
script can extract the images from that dir into an Apache dir. Apache then 
has a simple rewrite rule to serve the dynamic stuff from Zope, and the rest 
comes from disk. Works a treat.
