Does the '-D' option not do what you want? Typically, you just run

	mgp -D html-dir my-talk.mgp

and it runs through the talk, generating an html image (both large and
small) for each slide. Each large image then goes on a page by itself
and all the small images (which are 400x300) are put into the index.html
page as links to the larger image page.
