We could just copy any image files to the web directory, and add some
heuristics to change any <img>-tags in the HTML (exported from
markdown2, org-mode, etc.) to point there.

For example, we could put factorial.png in
/images/<package-name>/factorial.png.  The only cost is a bit of
diskspace, but it shouldn't be a lot as there is already some incentive
to keep down file sizes.
