Personally I like this approach more then the other you propose. It is
more general. I know this since I had the same problem with both linuxdoc
and docbook html support, there I also need the file name without extension.
For the moment I have postponed that, but I see now that the best solution
is to add this variable instead of adding to the code more one special case.
I agree that variable should be avoided at all cost but sometimes draconian
mesures are worse than (informed) common sense. (Too much philosophy, that is
a sign that friday is coming soon ;)
Take this with a grain of salt. :)
