I am definitely against removing "Stand-alone Viewport" for such
a (non)reason. Concerning using already generated image: I do
not like to keep generated files in svn, so I consider ability
to automatically generate mobius image to be important. OTOH
currently we put generated image in release tarball and
create the image only from 'gphts' target. I think this is
the right compromise.

I prefer to separate changes to build process and changes to
the content. If there is no or very small change in content
then there is much easier to verify that build works OK
by diffing results with earlier versions. Verifying content
changes is easier without noise caused by changes in build
process.

I think it is worth looking at tex4ht. I would rather avoid
tex4ht as a runtime dependency, but it could be useful for
generating .html version form .htex -- this could be done
when creating release tarball, so there would be no requirement
for tex4ht when building releases.
