I don't know exactly what versions of Ghost they hope to use, but at
work we have an automated imaging system that reboots into Linux,
launches Ghost via DOS emulation, reimages the machine, and then comes
back up on the newly re-imaged windows partition.  Running Ghost under
DOS emulation is actually pretty well documented around the internet.
