[l2h] Image directory is not transferable

[Daniel Brewer]

I tried to use the approach below but I still got a full path in my html.
In the latex:
\begin{figure}
\includegraphics{images/yoyo}
\caption{help}
\end{figure}

Goes to in html:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION ALIGN="BOTTOM"><STRONG>Figure 1:</STRONG>
help</CAPTION>
<TR><TD><IMG
  ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" SRC="/home/daniel/Test/images/yoyo.jpg"
  ALT="Image /home/daniel/Test/images/yoyo.jpg"></TD></TR>
</TABLE>

As you can see the path is /home/daniel/Test/images/yoyo.jpg, I would 
like it to be ./images/yoyo.jpg.

I am new to latex2html and just used the default settings.  Is there any 
settings that are needed for this kind of behaviour?

Thanks

Daniel Brewer
