latex2html in build process

[John Lapeyre <lapeyre@physics.Arizona.EDU>]

	Hi,
	I never found a good solution to building html docs via
latex2html. The source path usually contains a ".", which causes
latex2html to fail.  I have tried all kinds of things to get it work and
have not suceeded.  Does anyone else know how to solve the problem ?

Here is a sample output of the error.

Generating postscript images using dvips ...

images will be generated in
/n1/incom/debs/tochnog/tochnog-98.10.27/doc/tnp/l2h23934/ 

*** there is a `.' in $TMPDIR ;  dvips will fail
 Set $TMP to use a /tmp directory, or rename the working directory.
