I may be mistaken whether previous year's build contained pardwired
paths from the build directory or from build-time texmf location
(though, i have an impression that it was not the case at least in
2002), but ANYWAY, it's totally WRONG to put such build directory
and/or build-time texmf location into the binaries, and this should be
fixed. Why do we have all the SELFAUTO stuff, after all? It's
absolutely pointless to put the hardwired paths into the binaries,
especially into the ones built for TeX Live. It's a garbage.

And the hardwired paths in texi2html script should be removed as well.

Best,
