Yes, I have modified the output.

I see. It turns out that I was misusing ikiwiki, assuming that all
representation-related stuff should be kept together with the "output". There
is, however, some logic in keeping the *.css and *.ico files separate from the
*.mdwn input (such as different sites using different styles, but being
compiled from the same *.mdwn source). Nevertheless, this bug can be closed.
Sorry for the noise.
