[Bug 1402456] [NEW] a2x does not find icons when creating an epub

[Andrew Myers]

Public bug reported:

When trying to create an epub using the asciidoc a2x utility there is an error about missing icons.  These icons
are on the path /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/docbook-xsl/images but the directory must be copied
locally and passed as --icons-dir for a2x to successfully generate an epub.

This problem is documented here: http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/epub-notes.txt under the heading
"=== epub: Unreferenced callout icons in OPF" with a note that a workaround was implemented in version 8.6.5 of a2x.
Ubuntu 14.10 currently installs 8.6.9 so this workaround appears to be broken now.

To reproduce:

wget http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/userguide.txt 
a2x -L -f epub userguide.txt
