As you said in another email the file name should be relative to
the Texinfo file for consistency with other output formats.

I doubt that relative names beginning "../" were much considered
when @image was implemented (or even file names with directory parts
at all).

I haven't thought of a clear answer for this issue yet.  I think that
for split output, the image files need to be copied into the output
directory and the file names should be given under that, not beginning
"../".  Alternatively, you could create a symbolic link to a directory
containing the image files under the output directory.

It's odd that the include path should be searched for image files.
This makes sense for TeX but not for other formats, as there is no
search path for image files for HTML or Info.  It would only make sense
if texi2any was going to copy the image files to the output location.
