Thanks, but then I would have to copy all the images from the server
holding the images. I found another solution, which is kind of a hack
but works better in my situation. Btw. will that automatically make
the files getting embedded? If true I think that information would be
nice - e.g. at http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/HtmlHelp.html and
somewhere at http://www.dpawson.co.uk/docbook/. At least that's some
of the main locations I've been searching and reading.

My hack: When generating the docbook XML I create relative image
paths. After the XSLT translation I append the list of absolute file
paths to the images in the [FILES] section of the htmlhelp.hhp file.
