Great - thanks!

Uninstalled doesn't work for me:

$ make web/index.html MAKEINFO=/home/bothner/GNU/texinfo/tp/makeinfo
/home/bothner/GNU/texinfo/tp/makeinfo -I=doc --html --split=section --no-number-sections 
-c INFO_JS_DIR=style --css-ref="style/domterm-1col.css" doc/DomTerm.texi -o web/
Can't locate Texinfo/ModulePath.pm in @INC (you may need to install the 
Texinfo::ModulePath module) (@INC contains:

However after:

./configure --prefix=/home/bothner/GNU/texinfo/+installed+
make install

then installed works:

$ make web/index.html 
MAKEINFO=/home/bothner/GNU/texinfo/+installed+/bin/makeinfo

and browsing file:///home/bothner/DomTerm/web/index.html works as expected.

I've updated (and checked in) the necessary changes to DomTerm's Makefile.am.
I haven't yet fixed any of the styling or other glitches I mentioned earlier.
