In fact I'm not really right on that point: the 100MB is in the PDF/PS
format case which needs the images to be in the localdir, it would be
very difficult to deal with links in the generated .tex file.
For the others formats, HTML for example, in your implementation the
images are copied many times in the doc tree (each time a doc needs the
image) which is, as I said in my previous mail, a space eater.

Well, nothing is easy, our .mk files are very "hairy" cause of multiples
add-ons etc.  All the thing should be rewritten from the beginning, but
who would be enough "crazy" to take that task? :))
