as a sidenote there's a way I can produce the desired behaviour using a DTML
construct:

in index_html:

      <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('img', 'trans.gif')">
      <dtml-if "_.hasattr(pics, img)">
        <img src="pics/trans_gif" width="10" height="10"></td>
      <dtml-else>
        <img src="dir/pics/trans_gif" width="10" height="10"></td>
      </dtml-if>

but this is ugly and pretty inconvenient to do for every image
and also I am not sure if it works for every conceivable situation.
In general I think my use case is something that can be very useful for many
sites, so I think there should be a generic solution.
