Sharing gnucash.css between htdocs and mail-search?

Neil,

I was wondering what you think about sharing gnucash.css between
the htdocs (website) and the mail-search modules?  Do you think
it's reasonable to work towards sharing the same css and support
(iconsm etc)?

One approach to sharing would be moving gnucash.css from the top-level
and into its own subdirectory (htdocs/css/gnucash.css) and then
in the mail-search we could use the subversion svn:externals
( http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/ch07s03.html ) to load
htdocs/css/gnucash.css into mail-search/css and in effect
share the same files between both pieces.

It would imply that changes to the css get propagated into both
locations, which would make it much easier to keep it all in sync.

What do you think?
