What if the image isn't on any web site, but on the local disk?  E.g.,
how could I get RDoc to spit out <img src="../images/foo.jpg"> where
the images subdir would sit along side the doc subdir?  Same for
linking to HTML that is not out on the web, but in some local dir.
This'd allow you to keep the "source" to the rdoc output, say, in a
certain directory structure and RDoc would spit out the proper
relative URLs to reach it.
