Yes, the Javadocs docs say you can put both HTML and images in the doc-
files directory.

The only I have is that the docs say you should not put a <title> section 
in package.html because this causes a conflict with HTML-tidy. 
Fortunately, you can ignore this: running "tidy -m ..." generates a 
<title> section which does not cause any problems with javadocs - at 
least, none that I can see.
