Quite a few actually, including applying several patches that had been sent to
the texi2html list and then fixing some bugs of my own.

Both my and the other guy's patch submissions have been ignored and their CVS
server's been down for months.  Maybe time to get the code a new home?

Anyhow, I can post the working version of texi2html if you like, either as a
complete distribution or as patches against, um, 1.65.  I think 1.65 was a
development version too.  Anyhow let me know if you want any of that.
