Is there a reason why the copier ext_copy.py in the LyX

I have a use case where copying to the same directory as the LyX file
is the natural thing to do. I've made a simple adjustment to the
script so that it allows this option, but it involved some wriggling
around permissions to get access to it. It would be good to have this
possibility written-in to the script so that the option was there
already for users (unless, that is, there is a strong reason for not
providing it).
There's no reason that isn't an option. I didn't implement it that way
because its generally our policy not to "pollute" the user's directory
structure, and copying a bazillion image files would do that. But, as an
option, it's fine.
