You shouldn't need to touch ftpget.c. ftpget has a number of parameters
which can be specified in squid.conf which can be used for this purpose.
Really, images like "internal-gopher-menu" are meant to be interpreted by
the browser. However, many browsers, e.g. MSIE, do not do this. So you can
specify a location and extension for image files on ftpget's command line.

e.g. for me, in squid.conf:

cache_ftp_options -c 3:3 -l 3:30 -r 3:3 -p http://www.origin-at.co.uk/icons/
-s .gif
 
Other options can be obtained from the source, or by running ftpget with no
args from the command line.

The above example will cause squid to try and fetch, e.g.
http://www.origin-at.co.uk/icons/internal-gopher-menu.gif

which I have on my web server as a neat little icon. You can extend this to
the other gopher types, e.g. sound, text, binary, image, unknown, etc.
