Summary: doc build on win32 with MiKTeX et al.
Initial Comment:
With this patch, everything build fine on win32 but for the following problems:
- html/api/labels.pl not generated -> html/api/*.html uncorrect
- lib/modindex.html not generated -> html/modindex.html uncorrect
Problems worked out:
- fancyhdr.sty is not in the Miktex distribution ...
- Makefile content made compatible with the Windows command line (now runs fine with VC++'s
nmake, or cygnus's make --win32)
- misc. problems regarding the path formats
- miktex 2.0's pdflatex would block on a mismatching macro level in python.sty -> fixed
Hints on installing latex2html:
- I had to work out some fixes in the config.pl script (2,000 lines of perl...)
- make sure the paths to the ghostscript and miktex installations have no spaces!!!!!! latex2html
will silently screw up its configuration process
- looking at perl scripts gave me a serious trauma

Added fancyhdr.sty in Doc/texinputs/.
Doc/perl/l2hinit.perl no longer needs "cat" (revision 1.55),
so the adjustment to support CygWin cat is no longer needed
in mkhowto.
Doc/tools/mkhowto revision 1.29 contains changes to be
portable to Windows/CygWin, based on the attached patch.
Still not closed ;-( -- I need to try to actually
understand what's going on with \pdfendlink, and the README
probably needs a little work.
Frederic, have I missed anything else? (Sorry to take so
long getting this in!)
Marked "Pending" waiting for feedback.

I've checked in some of the required changes, but others
still need to be considered.
