What are the images? Are they for the admonitions, like note,
tip, warning, etc? Perhaps the installed HTML files could just
reference those same images provided by gnome-doc-utils/yelp-xsl.
Everybody will have that installed anyway.

We should have a good chat about how we can better share code.
Yelp does all this theme-tracking stuff for icons and colors
already, but only for Docbook and Mallard, where it generates
the HTML. We could solve each others' problems if we worked
together more.
