If the $(HTSEARCH_RESULTS) is malformed/missing, htsearch will ignore
the wrapper file and fall back to the separate header and footer files.

The header and footer themselves aren't hardcoded, but the default values
for search_results_header and search_results_footer are. These defaults
are based on the default value of common_dir, which is defined at compile
time.

It's a pretty safe bet that SRC_TREE/htsearch/htsearch has a different
compiled-in value for common_dir than INSTALL_TREE/cgi-bin/htsearch has.

If you run htsearch -v from the command line, it should tell you where
it's looking for any template files it can't open. This might help you
figure out where it's looking, i.e. what the compiled-in common_dir value
is for a given binary. This will work for snapshots htdig-3.2.0b4-071501
and later.
