What I've done for OpenLayers and Mapserver, was to create an image with
the corners registered. Depending on the Gempak app you're using this can
be "interesting" and require some tuning to get things right. Then, the
image can become ageoreferenced PNG. You need a worldfile (.pgw) that looks
like:
WLD -- ESRI World File
A world file file is a plain ASCII text file consisting of six values
separated by newlines. The format is:
pixel X size
rotation about the Y axis (usually 0.0)
rotation about the X axis (usually 0.0)
negative pixel Y size
X coordinate of upper left pixel center
Y coordinate of upper left pixel center
For example:
60.0000000000
0.0000000000
0.0000000000
-60.0000000000
440750.0000000000
3751290.0000000000
You can construct that file simply by using your favorite text editor.

"Big whorls have little whorls,
That feed on their velocity;
And little whorls have lesser whorls,
And so on to viscosity."
Lewis Fry Richardson (1881-1953)
