You may have to compile IM from scratch and add the format back in.

When I need that sort of thing I just Xastir save the snapshot in
it's normal place, then make a symlink to it from the htdocs
directory.  Then the web server can find it.  You may also have to
change a setting in your web server and restart it so that it can
follow symlinks.
