Support Large gigapixels with PSB-files
It would be desirable if hugin could support/stitch to PSB files ([1], The Large Document Format from Photoshop). Images larger than 4GB can be only sanely edited with this format, as discussed on the mailing list [2]. Additionally, with PSB-files, we could save layered raster files.
There seem to be free implementations for this, but accoring to Jim Watters [3], they are not too active:

Additionally, Jim would like to make clear that Panotools already has functions to read and write basic PSD/PSB files.
Note that Hugin generally doesn't produce the final blended image, this is created by enblend or enfuse. So this feature would involve modifying the enblend-enfuse package.
Note also that both Hugin and enblend-enfuse use the vigra_impex library for reading/writing image files, so this is where the modification needs to be done. Unfortunately Hugin and enblend-enfuse include imported copies of this library in their source code, so completing this project would involve patching both versions _and_ submitting the patch with tests to the upstream vigra project.
