I remember than we agreed that @images paths were relative to the 
result file. So, to have paths right, @image should be searched for in 
this directory.

For input files, indeed it has potential for confusion, but for
images, it seems to me to be rather logical. The issue with
images is that they aren't only something that is inputed in a 
manual, they are also part of the final outputed manual (at least 
in html).

I agree, avoiding magic as much as possible is better, indeed.
