Now it's  images/**.jpg for custom  and skin/images/**.jpg  for skins.
it's basically the same.

Ok, I think that it isn't clear if you don't see it.

Download Centipede, which has nested books.
Build the docs.

Then look at the resulting stuff. You'll see that the common images (like
top headers and bottom icons), are copied in every sub directory, even if
they are the same.

I'm not talking about how to reference them, but what Cocoon creates as a
static result.
