[l2h] images in a separate directory

[R. Prabhakar]

hello Ross,

specifying the graphics path too does not work. the pdflatex reports an
error saying the file is missing and latex2html compiles, but the images
are still in the same root html directory. 

i have also tried the following:

\newcommand{\screenshot}[2]{
    \begin{figure}[H]
    \htmladdimg{#1}
    \begin{latexonly}
    \begin{center}
    \includegraphics{#1}
    \end{center}
    \end{latexonly}
    \caption{#2}
    \end{figure}
    }

\screenshot{images/custom_script.jpg}{Custom Script Interface}


i thought this should work flawlessly, but alas, that too has problems in
the latex2html, while pdflatex seems to work fine. 

i am foxed and wonder what the problem is. any siggestions?
