No, there's Makefile support:

  make htmldir=/path/to/wherever install-html

but the autoconf stuff wasn't hooking into it properly (which is what
the patch I sent should do).

What I meant by "incomplete" is that most people just use the Makefile
directly without autoconf, so we never notice when bugs like this are
hiding. Thus the bugs tend to hang around for a while until somebody
submits a patch (which I was hoping you would do after getting it to
work).
