Well, if you feel about it thaaaaaat strongly, I can change it back :-)
I just want you to consider the following: You have to know what to
copy in the first place. It just changed from 1 directory to 2 directories
(in the chunked html case) and 1 directory + 1 file in the big html case.
I fact, if you want to provide both html texts on a web page, you don't
have to replicate all the images. So my question is: is it really that bad?
Would an install target that created a tar.gz or zip file help to get
around your concerns? If not, see my first words in ths paragraph, let
me know and I'll change it back.

I take it that I won't have to change this one back no matter how you
decide on the html case?

I'd still be happy to know whether the change works on a technical
level. If I were to commit just the change you answered with ok now,
I wouldn't know whether I'd break things on the Windows side.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
