Why not use the Cwd Perl module? It provides a cross-platform cwd()
command. I've implemented that in the new config procedure.

This is indeed a complicated issue. IMHO LaTeX2HTML should provide its own
list of styles, divided into the following categories:

1. Styles/classes that have a corresponding .perl file.
   => do *not* search these styles in $TEXINPUTS (or by kpsewhich), but
      include the .perl file in LaTeX2HTML and include the style in
      images.tex

2. Styles/classes that can be ignored for LaTeX2HTML
   => Just skip this style/class for the main script, but include it into
      images.tex (is that correct, or must we differentiate two cases
      here?)

3. Everything else must be searched in the current directory and
   directories provided in $TEXINPUTS, as these are probably home-brew.

Just my 2c...
