that is not flexible ... we're talking about a rather special
application, so what I can add is a simple helper that returns the first
and last page of a section
\dostepwiserecurse {\firstsectionpage[crap][chapter:3]}
{\lastsectionpage[crap][chapter:3]} {1} {
\startpagemakeup
\externalfigure[crap.pdf][page=#1]
\stoppagemakeup
}
\dostepwiserecurse {\firstsectionpage[crap][chapter:5]}
{\lastsectionpage[crap][chapter:5]} {1} {
\dontleavehmode
\externalfigure[crap.pdf][page=#1,width=3cm,frame=on]%
\space\allowbreak
}
keep in mind that it is also a biut fragile as one never know where the
last one ends
