+If the same teximg is put on multiple pages, the second one will fail:
+
+Error: /home/joey/html//teximg/3eb2b61be1e909df9008a499863eec90.png independently created, not overwriting with version from pics
+
+Ikiwiki doesn't support the concept of two different pages owning the same
+file; only one page can own a file. I don't see a good way around that,
+w/o large changes to ikiwiki.
+
+This could be fixed by making the teximg directory be a subdirectory
+of the page containing the image. I seem to remember suggesting this to
+winnie, and I forget why it wasn't done.. maybe because the same teximg
+on multiple pages was expected to work, and as an optimisation for that case?
