It can't be specified by the stylesheets, but it is the default
behavior of hhc.exe. I found a solution, finally, so here is a brief
writeup. If you'd like more info, I'll try to make this more explicit
when I have a bit more time.

In the stylesheets:
Set htmlhelp.use.hhk to 1

For WINE:
Follow http://code.google.com/p/htmlhelp/wiki/HHW4Wine
Use cabextract to get itcc.dll and hhctrl.ocx, too. Copy them to the
windows/system32 folder.
Register all the dlls and the .ocx file. I think you have to register
the .ocx file last.
