[GNC] Definition of document root

[Adrien Monteleone]

As Jim mentioned—good suggestion.

I too think it would be more flexible as a book-preference.

This does sound familiar, so it may be an existing bug/rfe, or maybe it 
simply has been brought up on the list before.

Regards,
Adrien

That is fine if there is a single location in the file system for documents for all books, but it seems much more logical to store books and documents together in their own directories.

Ideally, it would be possible to have a global value that can be replaced by a book-specific value, as that would retain the current behavior yet accommodate the more natural (at least to me) organization of all book-specific things together.
