Comment(by hailfinger):

 I think flashrom is not the right tool to handle this. There are lots of
 vendor specific flash image locations which have to be kept on update, and
 building that intelligence into flashrom is IMHO a path that will lead to
 suffering.

 However, adding one or more separate apps to the flashrom svn repository
 would allow people to extend flashrom with image related features as they
 see fit. The first such app could be Ward's change-mcp55-mac.pl
