Re: 2.99.10: another release candidate

I haven't been actively working on texi2html recently - my primary 
interest is that it generates the CVS manual properly, which 1.72 still 
does.

Patrice Dumas has been doing most of the recent work and is usually 
quick to respond.  I've cc'd him as well as the texi2html development list.

Regards,

Derek
