Well, like I said, it's been a while since I've dealt with 
multi-platform binary directories, but I seem to recall that there was 
usually a single, separate directory for platform-independent stuff.  Of 
course this doesn't really lead me to any obvious conclusion about how 
an installer that installs platform dependent binaries for a single 
platform plus some platform independent stuff should behave since my 
idea of texi2html ignoring --enable-multiplatform would cause texi2html 
to overwrite previous installs when multiple TeX Live installations were 
run for diverse platforms.

I suppose it won't cost us much to support it.  You have an opinion, 
Patrice?

Derek
