Yes, this was just the easiest way to create these links - because I 
didn't know the command to convert absolute links to relative links. 
(It seems there is no such command.)

Yes, of course. For instance, we can write a little shell/Perl/Python 
script to make relative links or (better) to do all the 
find-image-and-make-link stuff (try 'make -n xml/it/images' to see 
these commands).

No, we "copy" the image files in xml/it/images from two different
sources: the English (language-independent) images or the localized 
images. So IMO we had to use three absolute references (to images/C, 
images/common, images/LANG)...
