Subject: Before running LaTeX2HTML, remove all the HTML files from the output
X-Git-Tag: v2.0b2~315
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f3d41272c6c5d576471f5c80108a96386bc51558;p=thirdparty%2FPython%2Fcpython.git

Before running LaTeX2HTML, remove all the HTML files from the output
directory.  This avoids acretion of HTML from previous runs which may
have a new name; this would have avoided a lot of the packaging problems
related to changing labels from the old distutils documentation.
