Yes, but there is currently no way to include the file under "images/"
(well, except using zip tools to manipulate it by yourself), because on
pp line 206 there is a basename().

It is possible to say:

    Image(-file=>"file.png");

and pack it thus:

    pp --add /path/to/file.png

Suggestions welcome for the pp syntax on including files into arbitary
directory, patches doubly so. :-)
