I've just realised what this code is doing, its writing out nearly the
whole data store :(

Is there no way we can know which variables wic may later need? I'm not
keen at all to see an iteration of d.keys() and the list of things not
to write out looks arbitrary at best :(

We need to find a better way of doing this...

I'd also prefer we only do this if we know we're going to be writing a
wic image.

Cheers,

Richard
