Indeed that it is messy.  The constant regeneration of the multimedia
files during the build is something that has been annoying to me for
some time, I just have not had the cycles to track it down.  I am sure
simon would also appreciate if it were fixed.  :)

But, if we are so close to the SGML->XML conversion, it certainly can
wait longer since it has been "broken" for some time.

Anyway, thanks.
