[l2h] cannot request no stylesheet

hello;

I was trying to find a way to tell l2h to use my own style sheet.

Then I read this from 2002.

But when I tried to see if the fix, described below, is actually in, I found 
it is _not_.

I type

latex2html -style ""  foo.tex

but I find that l2h still creates a .css file. According to this below, it 
should not do this.

I am using

C:\latex2html -v
$* is no longer supported at C:\LATEX\latex2html\bin/latex2html.bat line 
10607.
This is LaTeX2HTML Version 2008 (1.71)
by Nikos Drakos, Computer Based Learning Unit, University of Leeds.


Are there different version of l2h out there?  which is the _current_ 
version of l2h??

On a side question, how does one tell l2h to use my own stylesheet file? I 
do not see a $STYLESHEET variable in my l2hconf file, and the -style option 
does not seem to work, as anything I pass it, is not being picked up.

This below is from the l2h email archive:

OK; that's a nice simple fix.
The repository has it now, so it should be available
by tomorrow.
