[l2h] Another take on the 'no images' problem

[Robin Fairbairns]

  One way to fix the problem is to have
      \pdfoutput=0
  at the top of your LaTeX jobs, but there should
  be an easier way to configure the same result.

no, after loading the package that breaks things.  the problem is that some
packages (including html.sty, last i looked) use a broken means of detecting
that they're using pdflatex, and on modern distributions this brokenness means
that it *always* decides it's using pdflatex, regardless of how latex was
called.

i've mentioned this before here.  is there a way to distribute a "working"
html.sty, or do we have to wait until someone (presumably poor old ross)
has time to produce a new distribution?
