If changed like that, set:

     AC_SUBST([htmldir], ['${datarootdir}/doc/git-doc'])

In the generated "configure" file, this instruction will be inserted
after the option_parse block (not before), and will override what
the user provided by running "./configure --htmldir=DOCDIR".

BTW, add "docdir = @docdir@" to "config.mak.in", also let
"./configure --docdir=DIR" works properly.
