[Texi2html-bug] path to @images with output dir and cwd!=texifiledir

Hi Patrice,
Another issue I'm encountering with path names: I have a file with 
    @image{lily-flat-bw,,,png}
Now, texi2html seems quite inconsistent with the path to the image if output 
dir is used:

I have the following directory structure:
- -) testdir
      -) images_relative
            -) texi2html_images.texi
            -) lily-flat-bw.png

The .texi file includes the png file. 

Case a) In "testdir/image_relative" run
    texi2html --split=section --out=out-www/ texi2html_images.texi
The img in out-www/texi2html_images.html will now be
       <img src=".././lily-flat-bw.png" alt="png">
which accidentaly works, but not as intended.


Case b) Now, in "testdir", run 
    texi2html --split=section --out=images_relative/out-www/  \
        images_relative/texi2html_images.texi
The img in images_relative/out-www/texi2html_images.html will be:
       <img src="../images_relative/lily-flat-bw.png" alt="png">
Obviously, the link is wrong.


Case c) Now, in "testdir", run 
    texi2html --split=section --out=images_relative/out-www/subdir/  \
        images_relative/texi2html_images.texi
The img in images_relative/out-www/subdir/texi2html_images.html will also be:
       <img src="../images_relative/lily-flat-bw.png" alt="png">



For comparison: makeinfo --html in all cases generates 
     <img src="lily-flat-bw.png" alt="png">
i.e. the img file is in the same dir as the html file, which is what I would 
expect, too.

A trivial sample file with that dir structure is at:
http://www.fam.tuwien.ac.at/~reinhold/temp/images_relative.zip

The culprit seems to be that texi2html somehow again messes up relative pathes 
and their anchor dirs: The first component "../" seems to come from the fact 
that I'm using --out and indicates a file position relative to --out (if I'm 
using --out=., then the link will besrc="./lily-flat-bw.png") . The second 
component, however ("images_relative/" or "./") is relative to the CWD!

Since my original @image call didn't include any path information, shouldn't 
the output also be without path information? 

Cheers,
Reinhold
