I *really* don't like that. This solution makes it hard to find all the 
files needed for the specific output format. With the current solution 
you can simply copy the output directory you need and you're done.

With your solution you have to *know* that you must copy the graphics 
directory too. And even worse, you cannot put the graphics into the html 
dir, as this would result in broken graphics links.

Same thing as above.

Ok, the chm file will include the graphics so the situation is a 
bit.different here.

I won't try that patch for the reasons described above.
