That would be nice. In the past, around half the contributors came to
the project through personal contact instead of some announcement on
some website.

These seem to be image maps describing which part of an image is
clickable. Even if they are empty, there might be a usemap attribute
that refers to them. I would guess that most browsers would still
render things correctly, even if the file is not available.

But again, it might be easier to just exclude the API doc from the
rpm. If at all, it should go into a devel or doc rpm, IMO.

I can do that then, once you are ready.
