[l2h] foilhtml.sty tries to be clever and fails

[Manoj Srivastava]

Hi,

        [Please retain the CC to 58371-forwarded@bugs.debian.org so
        that the problem tracking system has a record of your input,
        and can know when the problem is resolved. thanks]

        The following problem was reported by a user of the Debian
 distribution of GNU/Linux. Unfortunately, I do not use FoilTeX, and I
 am unable to reproduce the problem, or to test the solution, so I
 am just punting this to you.

======================================================================
The foilhtml LaTeX package tries to be clever about landscape mode
and fails miserably.  Essentially, FoilTeX turns the page once, and
foilhtml undos this.

The following patch _should_ solve the problem, though it's not
well-tested, and I may certainly missing some evil side-effects of
my changes.

Except for some obligatory cosmetic nonsense you don't want to use,
this essentially replaces all occurences of rotatedfoilhead{} in the
various sectioning macros by foilhead{} - foilhead{} as defined in
the standard FoilTeX package already knows about landscape mode and
does the right thing.
