Copier enquiry/enhancement

[aparsloe]

Is there a reason why the copier ext_copy.py in the LyX 
2.1.0/Resources/scripts folder does NOT have an option for copying to 
the same directory as the LyX file? At present the  copied files end up 
in a subdirectory of the directory containing the LyX file.

I have a use case where copying to the same directory as the LyX file is 
the natural thing to do. I've made a simple adjustment to the script so 
that it allows this option, but it involved some wriggling around 
permissions to get access to it. It would be good to have this 
possibility written-in to the script so that the option was there 
already for users (unless, that is, there is a strong reason for not 
providing it).
