Or better yet, have a double_illuminate pigment block of its very own:

object{
  leaf
  pigment{
   image_map{tga"leafy_image.tga"}
  }
  double_illuminate{
   image_map{tga"veiny_image.tga"}
  }
}

I'm don't know how this would look, exactly. I'm pretty sure it would 
look something like it would in Blender or another such rendering 
program (similar to most programs' translucency material layer).
