With the patch applied, using "-rootdir ." displays an error:

$ latex2html -rootdir . l2htest.tex
[...]
Error (Make_directory_absolute): chdir "" failed: No such file or directory
 at /usr/bin/latex2html line 1289.
[...]

The output with and without "-rootdir ." differs a little although you
write that it's the same as the default behavior.
