This is done now.  There was a lot of trimming.  I will try to bring
back some relevant parts from texi2oldapi, but for now I don't know what
will be relevant.

Indeed, this is almost done.

The right thing to do is simply to bootstrap with (in the tp/ directory)

./maintain/regenerate_file_lists.pl

I believe, touching Makefile.incl would also do the trick.  Where should
such thing be documented?

Also there was a bug in the rule allowing to redo Makefile.incl, maybe
it also hit you.

I hadn't understood that it was for 5.0.  I'll have a look after I finish
the documentation, then.

The point is that it is not new for former texi2html users (as myself...), 
and I'd like to have all the relevant texi2html features in as soon as 
possible.
