+	* Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in
+	--prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version.  This
+	is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided.  Many thanks
+	to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv AT luc.edu> for the detailed
+	help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis AT gmail.com> for getting the ball
+	rolling.  This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users
+	when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone.
