Quoting David Syzdek [off-list ref]
I tested the below patch using autoconf 2.59 and autoconf 2.62. If
the version of autoconf used to create the configure script supports
the `--htmldir' option then the htmldir is set by either autoconf or
the user defined value. If the version of autoconf does not support
the `--htmldir' option, then htmldir defaults to [DATADIR/doc/git].
This way a newer version of autoconf is not required for users on
distros more than a year or so old, however users on newer distros are
able to use the '--html' flag.

Add support for --htmdir=DIR [DATAROOT/doc/git] if the configure
script is created with autoconf 2.60 or higher. htmldir defaults to
[DATADIR/doc/git] if the configure script is created with autoconf
2.59 or lower.

Junio, may I ask what happened to this patch?
