Done, it works. 

I've done this little silly script to automate the html creation process:

(if it isn't too simple we could add it to the tools dir or insert it in the
makefile)

make-gimp-manual-html 

**************************************

#!/bin/bash

###################################
#
# Creates the html pages archive
#
# to be run after a 'make html'
#
###################################

#change your path accordingly
SRCBASE=~/svn-gnome/gimp-help-2/trunk

cd /tmp
mkdir gimp-manual
mkdir gimp-manual/images
cd gimp-manual

cp -R ${SRCBASE}/html html

for i in `ls ${SRCBASE}/html` ; do
  rm html/${i}/images
  echo "copying ${i} html files..."
  cp -R ${SRCBASE}/xml/${i}/images html/${i}/images
  if [ "$i" = "en" ]; then
    j="C"
  else
    j=$i
  fi
  echo "copying ${j} image files..."
  cp -R ${SRCBASE}/images/${j} images/${j}
  find images/${j} -name '.svn' | xargs rm -Rf
done

echo "copying common image files..."
cp -R ${SRCBASE}/images/common images/common
rm -Rf images/common/.svn
echo "copying callouts image files..."
cp -R ${SRCBASE}/images/callouts images/callouts
rm -Rf images/callouts/.svn
echo "creating archive..."
tar cf gimp-manual.tar *
echo "compressing..."
gzip gimp-manual.tar
mv gimp-manual.tar.gz ~
cd ..
echo "removing data dirs..."
rm -Rf gimp-manual
echo "done."

*****************************

With your patch and this script, updating the site pages should be
strightforward. 
I'll use these for creating and updating a local mirror of docs.gimp.org/en &
docs.gimp.org/it.

I've tested your script and it works. I think that you shoould commit it and
update the automake.am too.

bye
