It's been a day since you asked this question, and nobody has
responded. I suspect that's because of the image file format. I'm
pretty sure that it's a proprietary image format. According to this
Wiki page: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECW_%28file_format%29 , there's an SDK
which is open source. It's likely to be possible to use that SDK to
convert the images into bigger files in a more standard file
format. Or ... use the SDK to add support to MapProxy so it can read
the files and re-encode in a more generally usable file format.
