Seeking open source solution to access rasters in File Geodatabase?

Question

I'm looking for a way to access raster layers in an Esri File-GeoDatabase without using ArcObjects or ArcPy, specifically I would like to access the raster layers with GDAL. I understand that the GDAL FileGDB and OpenFileGDB give access to vector datasets within File-GeoDatabases, and that ESRI's own FileGDB C++ API does not support raster access.

Is anyone out there aware of any open source solutions?

Answer

I've just released a prototype program Arc Raster Rescue which extracts raster data from the ArcGIS File Geodatabase format.
