I'm quite certain we can avoid copying pictures from outdir to blddir;
however, if more generally we can't transform a file in srcdir to a file
in blddir that has the same name, let's sit down two minutes to see why
we do this.  It's not for making the pictures available to Texinfo
formatters, as a simple -I srcdir (which we already have in current
build system IIRC) would do the job.  For some pictures, we resize them,
but then for clarity we could give a different name to the source.  For
other pictures, IIRC we just symlink them so that they're caught by
mirrortree (a module used by www_post.py that links files into *-root).
Is it worth going on investigating this?  I think so, so I'll have a
look.

Best,
John
