Thank you very much!! I added PRE_BODY_CLOSE and the
document I am building by hand to try things out before
integrating into the build system now looks like we want it
to for web publication. :)

Since you gave me the texi2any init style file, I am going to add it
to our tree as well as the texi2html one.  Hopefully autoconf
magic can be used to detect when to use each. Machines with
texi2html and not texi2any provided by the distro will likely be
around for years (e.g. RHEL 5 and 6 at least).

I have more questions but have a large patch to get ready
to merge to move us from texi2www to texi2www.

Thanks.
