Hmm, you want dynmically generated css/jpg files
shipped by yaws. I'm not sure how to to do that since
it's the .yaws extension which makes yaws invoke
the out/1 function and everything.

Take a look at

# man yaws.conf

arg_rewrite_mod = Module
     It  is  possible  to  install a module that rewrites all the Arg
     #arg{} records at an early stage in the yaws server.   This  can
     be  used to do various things such as checking a cookie, rewrit-
     ing paths etc.



All in all, I think you need to tell us better what it is you
want to do.
