Addon.AddOtherItem
Adds an 'Other' type of file to the add-on package. You can add
any type of file to the add-on package using this method, but
typically you would add support files such as HTML, help, text, and
graphic files.
The file is installed in the subdirectory specified by the
in_bstrDestination parameter. For example, if the file is
"C:\temp\MyAddonHelp.html", the destination is "\help", and the
addon is installed in "\\server1\workgroup\Addons\MyAddOn" then
foo.txt will be found at
"\\server1\workgroup\Addons\MyAddon\help\MyAddonHelp.html".
Note: You can add items only when you create an add-on package
through scripting. After you create a package, you cannot edit it
or add more items to it, except through the user interface (File
> Add-on > Edit).
