This will not work and also not necessarily portable. And image
copying is already implemented :) and no private solution should be
implemented.

See

If the images are at root directory of the addon nothing has to be
done in the addon Makefile and it will work on any platform.

Why do you need a separate subdirectory (especially images/small/)?
Maybe a Makefile trick could be added to support a subdirectoy but two
