Off the top of my head, do all .html files, make backup...
 perl -i.bak -npe 's|pic.gif|images/pic.gif|g;' /path/to/files/*.html

Same but for common images with alphanumeric names...
 perl -i.bak -npe 's|(\w.(gif|jpg))|images/$1|g' /path/to/files/*.html

That's probably too crude and you'll want a better regex, maybe more like:
 s|<img src=\"(\w.(gif|jpg))\"|<img src=\"images/$1\"|g

YMMV.
