OK, many thanks for your answer. Unfortunately, I asked this question
for users who I don't know and may not fell very comfortable with such
a custom script.

What could be nice is to extend the current way TeX4ht is working to
provide a default script, say tex4htlatex, which replaces all the
successive options with a single option for specifying a config file
where the \one, \two, \three commands could be specified.

Best regards.
