Yeah I like this ... saves you from pulling in other lang specific
images.

Couldn't agree more.  We'll need to have the images/figures section of
the documentation-guide (2.5. Diagrams and Image) updated to reflect
these rules.  

Are you already set on this format?  Something about leaving the image
filenames open to the authors appeals to me.  What are your thoughts on
a directory structure instead of filename rules?  Perhaps something
like:

  figs/$lang/
  figs/common/  or just figs/

If we force all images to be in the figs/ subdirectory, this will make
it difficult for large documents to remain sane.

Thoughts/concerns?
