I've made this change in the infoagents locker, as described below. I
haven't tested it (I don't even know how to use latex2html ...) It'll
propagate tonight.

Craig, if there's any chance that you can mount the r/w
infoagents and try it this afternoon, it would be great.

I'm not too worried about further breakage in this case - if it does
break, we'll fix it again tomorrow ... however, I do wonder .... Could the
inserted dot cause a problem for other filenames that someone might
conceivably pass to latex2html?
