Subject: Dynamic URL in CSS

I have a large customer application that has nicely structured CSS files. Unfortunately in one of them there are some absolute references to WebServerResources

background-image: url(/MyApp/images/logo.png")

This fails when the file is in WebServerResources. Up to now my customer had all resources served statically from Apache. This works in production but is not portable and breaks in Eclipse on my dev machine. 

What would be the best way to convert such CSS URLs? I cannot just put a WOResourceURL in there or some such because the definition is in a separate .css file in WebServerResources, not in a WOComponent.

How to best deal with such things?

Thanks for any tip and help
