latex2html cannot deal with unknown packages and custom environments,
so it's even worse.

We do not link to tex4ht, so non-GPL shouldn't be the problem (it is
in Debian). But anyway, the PolyBORi tutorial must not be the reason
for including latex2html (as it won't build correctly). Hevea might be
an alternative to tex4ht (untested). but if the tutorial should be
included into Sage, I would prefer to deliver the processed html
documents (we could add this upstream).
