Re: Issues with gendocs and images

    why no simply take everything that is in the directory?

Right, if images are to be handled, we should take everything in the
output directory, not just *.html.

    Also, at the end, we empty a directory, and then mv *html files
    from one to the other, and kill the empty directory.  Why didn't
    we simply rename that directory?  

As long we check that $outdir/html_node does not already exist, I guess
it's equivalent (and simpler).
    
    Actually, why would we rename it instead of simply passing to -o the
    wanted directory, instead of creating this directory?

No, this has nothing to do with -o.  gendocs runs makeinfo to generate
the split HTML, which is created in a build subdirectory PACKAGE.html/.
This happens inside the source/build tree.  Then we want to move the
results to the "target" $outdir directory ("manual/" by default), just
as we move the .pdf and the rest.

    My questions are related to changes I am making to import the needed
    images

TIA :).
