When creating a pdf book the current script "docprep.cmd" copies the files from "oorexx/trunc/oorexx/en-US" to "oorexx/trunc/{book}/en-US/Commons_Content". Not sure why this happens as it should be possible to refer to "oorexx/en-US" files with relative paths (e.g. changing "Common_Content" with "../../oorexx/en-US".
Indeed it is possible and I have implemented such a mechanism in the never-finished rewrite of the scripts to use ooRexx.  The coding was complete but the documentation wasn't and there was no testing in non-Windows environments.  The current mechanism was merely a work-around for things done under the covers by Publican that would not break anything.

Also "docprep.cmd" copies "fop.cfg" to "oorexx/trunc/{book}/en-US/Commons_Content" and "fo2pdf.cmd" then sets the environment variable "fopcfg" to point to it ("set fopcfg=%docpath%\%whichdoc%\en-US\Common_Content\fop.cfg"). This would not be necessary if having "fop.cfg" in "oorexx/trunc/oorexx/en-US" and setting "fopcfg" to point to it.
I can't remember off the top if I also addressed this in my newer version of the scripts.

Would it be o.k. to change that (not copying anymore, changing the references accordingly in all the books) or is there something non-obvious to "Common_Content"?
