As it is a real nuisance to have to tell the reader IN TWO PLACES, where a file must be found, I am currently building a little program to automatically make an epub FROM JUST THE HTML AND CSS files. Nothing more, nothing less. If you make valid XHTML "pages" and adhere to some easy extra rules when writing the XHTML, you need not be concerned with difficulties like building an .opf or .ncx or even an TableOfContents.html file yourself. The idea behind the program will be: if you can write XHTML and CSS, you get an epub for free.
I have Perl and ANT scripts that do just this, but i want to make a Windows program. That may be even easier to install. To get Perl, ANT and the XHTML/XML/CSS validation programs working is a little bit cumbersome for some.
If there is any interest in the two scripts, I may publish them on my site.

Do you know that this already exists? If you zip your html and css in a file it can be used in Calibre to generate the ePUB and many other formats.
