I think that is best.  What I'm not sure is whether it should do so
depending on a command-line flag, or automatically )by searching).

One option is to add a  new command-line flag that specifies
a directory or filename prefix or a search path.  This path
is used for (at least) @image command.

Another option is for the @image command to check for images
in both the current directory and FOO-figures, where FOO
could be the filename in the @setfilename command.

Not sure which approach would be best.  I'd be fine with either.
