Looks like the examples try to source
../lib/OpenLayers.js
../theme/default/style.css
etc.

I take that ideally we would want a solution to work when browsing both of
file:///usr/share/doc/libjs-openlayers-doc/examples/
http://localhost/doc/libjs-openlayers-doc/examples/

One solution would be to have a symlink,
ln -s -T ../../javascript/openlayers/ /usr/share/doc/libjs-openlayers-docs/lib
ln -s -T ../../javascript/openlayers/theme theme

I don't know if this would violate any policies though... otherwise if
we patch the actual example files with different links to the OL.js
file we can't support both file:// and http://localhost

I'm happy to make/test a patch if this approach is okay, and no one
else wants to do it.
