Okay. I checked out the whole web tree on va.d.o, and did:

for i in */Make.common; do cp $i $i~; sed -e 's,-install -d $(HTMLDIR),test -d $(HTMLDIR) || mkdir -p $(HTMLDIR),' $i > $i.n; mv $i.n $i; done
cvs commit arabic/Make.common chinese/Make.common croatian/Make.common danish/Make.common dutch/Make.common english/Make.common esperanto/Make.common finnish/Make.common french/Make.common german/Make.common hungarian/Make.common italian/Make.common japanese/Make.common korean/Make.common norwegian/Make.common polish/Make.common portuguese/Make.common romanian/Make.common russian/Make.common spanish/Make.common swedish/Make.common turkish/Make.common

BTW now that web build is separated from dinstall, could we make the web
pages build+mirror every twelve hours? I doubt this would harm anyone,
master is less loaded these days, and mirrors don't care about 100Kb of
changes...
