[tex4ht] tex4ht and utf8 / -cunihtf-option doesn't work.

[Jaroslav Sobota]

Excellent hint, thanks a lot. Have you possibly found a way how to 
obtain unicode xhtml files without modifying the paths in tex4ht.env 
file? In MikTeX 2.7 everything worked neat with the default (although 
non-existing) paths but now, after an update to MikTeX 2.9, I have to 
update the paths in tex4ht.env manually, which I'd like to avoid.
