Dear Bertrand,
the solution of fetching the images and scripts directly from Purple  
or any other external location is no applicable, because we need to  
ensure that the demo is fixed and auto-contained and it won't change  
its results depending on external files.

Moreover, we prefer that all demos are simple and standard, because  
this way is much easier for us to maintain them and perform batch  
modifications when needed.
Loading images and specially scripts must we avoided.

The best solution would be having static directories at each demos,  
but right now we don't have them. I don't know how other demos manage  
to it, so could you give some example of IPOL demo doing this, so we  
can evaluate it?

Thanks,
Miguel
