I successfully built dev/texi2html on Friday.  I'm happily surprised
that the html-gettext trickery still works well for translating section
titles, although we're going to use @translationof mechanism -- I'm
going to convert the translated docs in a few days.

Yes, for example PNG images used e.g. in Introduction:
http://kainhofer.com/~lilypond/texi2html-out/Documentation/user/lilypond-learning/Engraving.html
texi2html does't simplify the path "../out-www/foo-flat.png" into
"foo-flat.png", so the images are broken in the final docs.  It would be
very cool if texi2html could write "../foo-flat.png" for splitted docs,
this would simplify add_html_footer trickery.
