Here is my simple `unarchive`code, it extract JPEG tiles from level=0.
The C code contains comment on how to compile and use. Otherwise:

$ cat CMakeLists.txt
project(ETS C)
add_executable(dumpets dumpets.c)
$ cmake .
$ make

To clarify what I said earlier VSI+ETS does not use the famous
0xffffffffffffffffL trick to store empty tile. Re-reading my code, it
seems that was when dealing with WTP+ETS Olympus WSI image, sorry for
the confusion. I do not have code to read the VSI TIFF structure, so I
have no clue what is stored in the private tags.

The code should be somewhat clear for reading, if not, feel free to ping me.

Caveats: it has not been agressively tested...

Enjoy
