bootstrap.sh: warn maintainers if the html tree is not present
Without it, ./configure won't work correctly because of the following code: HTMLFILE="" for n in ${srcdir}/html/*.* ; do HTMLFILE="${HTMLFILE} ${n}" done AC_SUBST([HTMLFILE]) Arguably, this behavior is unsatisfactory, but I can't think of an ad hoc solution that's better.

+* TODO Don't use shell globs to configure the list of available macros
+
+ The [[configure.ac][configure]] script globs m4/*.m4 to determine the list of available macros.
+ This mechanism is pretty fragile. Since the exact list is known at the time
+ we compile the release archive, that information should be inserted in the
+ script statically. But how?
