Summary: exit status of latex2html "ignored"

Initial Comment:
latex2html discovered an error building the lib html
docs. It correctly prints:

*** Session transcript and error messages are in
/build/packages/python2.3/python2.3-2.2.102/Doc/html/lib/lib.how.
*** Exited with status 25.
The relevant lines from the transcript are:
[...]

but then exits with an exit status of 1, which lets
make continue and makes it harder to find the actual error.

Not sure, if this is the correct fix, but why not exit
with the error you show the user?

Fixed using a slightly different patch in Doc/tools/mkhowto
1.39.
When a child process exits normally, the result code of the
child is used as the result code for mkhowto; all other
error exits cause mkhowto to return a result code of 1.
