[WM] Webmake not finding certain images.

[Robert Echlin]

Hi, jlm,

I had this problem with relative paths like htmlout, but changed the 
path to \really\long\path\htmlout and it worked fine.
YMMV, I am using MS Win2KServer.

I tested making the changes you suggested, but it did not make any 
difference in my case, so I changed it back.
