I don't see this as being much easier than simply using something like the
following to a Makefile whenever it is needed.
ifeq ($(LANGUAGE),en)
install::
install -m664 $(HTMLDIR)
endif
In most cases the ifeq ... endif is needed so that the file is installed only
from the english dir. Otherwise there is an error.
In the case of this .tex file, people may want to translate it to their own
language. We should come up with something to allow this.
