Unfortunately that only partially worked.

The WebHelp is set up as a DocBook set that includes the books.

When I set the directory for the individual books in the book files, the
individual HTML files were generated in those subdirectories (under
*site/sqrrl-guides*, the directory for the set as a whole).

While the TOC included all of the correct entries for all of the books, the
actual TOC links were broken - the generated TOC links did not include the
book subdirectories - they still assumed all of the files were directly in
*sqrrl-guides*, as opposed to *sqrrl-guides/InstallGuide*,
*sqrrl-guides/AdminGuide*, etc.

When I open the individual HTML files, links within and between books
actually work. Images were broken, still assuming that the img directory
was one level up instead of two.

Still digging to see if there's a DocBook or docbkx configuration that can
help.
