In the file pgfplots.code.tex I have to comment out lines 3944-45 like this
for it to compile. That obviously also makes the legends disappear:

\def\pgfplots at label#1#2{%
        \begingroup
        \edef\@currentlabel{%
                \string\expandafter
%                \string\protect
%                \string\csname\space #2#1\string\endcsname
        }%
        \pgfutil at ifundefined{hyper at makecurrent}{}{%
                \hyper at makecurrent{pgfplotslink}%
                \hyper at anchorstart{\@currentHref}{}\hyper at anchorend
                \pgfplotsutil at advancestringcounter@global\c at pgfplots@label
        }%
        \expandafter\label\expandafter{#1}%
        \endgroup
}%

Doing that, it mostly compiles the way I expect it to do and I actually get
a working html-file. But the graphs are gone and I wonder: Is pgpfplots
actually supported by tex4ht? If not, I think I need to experiment with
"externalizing" the graphs.
