    Why?  If I understand you correctly, it is only an issue for the
    Info mode in Emacs that has to add a prefix constructed from the
    document base name.

I was thinking of documentation.
But yes, you're right, the only code change is in Emacs Info, I guess.
Jan, do you feel like programming that too, he says hopefully :)?

    I think that something similar should be said for html manuals, in 
    the monolithic case. 

Yes.

    Maybe in that case the directory could be called manual, the same
    than for split manual and in that case the same images would be used
    for the mono and split manuals ?

It seems logical.  But there is an extra problem with HTML, which is
that makeinfo has to actually generate the <img> link.  I guess what
we're saying is that 
if --no-split MANUAL, we should have <img src="MANUAL/foo.png">,
but if splitting, we would have <img src="foo.png">.

Which means we have to tell people to put their images in a subdir.  I
guess that is ok.

I just feel somewhat uneasy about all this, for no reason I can really
put my finger on.  I guess because we don't have any infrastructure for
actually installing the images, or the html files at all.  (I still have
the project of getting that standard directory defined on my list ...)

thanks,
