Ok, I have tested this on Windows and the images stay within the 510px 
constraint there as well. They look ugly though. It appears the scaling 
capability of the Windows help browser is very limited. 

It may be a good idea to scale the images beforehand with a more capable tool 
(like imagemagick). But it's good enough for now. When I have some more time, 
I may add some make rules to prepare the images depending on the requested 
output format.

I suppose you refer to the list of possible screens the Qif importer can 
display ?

I have just committed a minor fix for this which improves the layout in pdf.
