I have a need to match the UVlayout onto an existing "texture" (picture)

So I would like to have the image be my background in UV space so I can move/size/align the shells to this. (sort of like painting first and UV's second..if that makes more sense...

Yep, that's the Trace button under the Display panel. Click on it to select the image, and the two sliders control the transparency of the background image and the flattened polys.
