Ulf,

can you please test the attached patch? It's working on my suse 9.2 but
I don't know whether there are any Unix'isms or gmake'isms in it.
Sorry for the late response, I was on holiday.

There are also some changes in there that change the previous behaviour:
- Proper file dependencies
ok

- the big html-files are generated in the docbook directory, not in a
 subdirectory.
I *really* don't like that. This solution makes it hard to find all the files needed for the specific output format. With the current solution you can simply copy the output directory you need and you're done.

With your solution you have to *know* that you must copy the graphics directory too. And even worse, you cannot put the graphics into the html dir, as this would result in broken graphics links.

- the html chunked and windows help files don't copy the graphics
 subdirectories any more but use the original ones instead.
Same thing as above.

Ok, the chm file will include the graphics so the situation is a bit.different here.

Please let me know whether it works and what you think of the other
changes.
I won't try that patch for the reasons described above.
