In this case you have to write setup.py with subclassed Distutils'
install_data providing needed functionality.  Additionally you'll have
to keep a configuration file in the same directory as your Python
modules which stores paths to images.  Real paths will be written to
it on installation.

For examples on subclassing install_data see setup.py's of well known
Python software - I've seen such examples, but don't remember
where. :-)
