Thanks for making me aware that I should check out TeXlive updates :-)

Instead of (or in addition to) messing up with a temporary directory
that wouldn't be in a directory out* (just like the temporary file the
current version of this script dirtily creates BTW, right?), I'd
recommend changing working dir of bibtex, i.e.

out_dir = os.path.dirname (output)
open (os.path.join (out_dir, tmpfile + '.aux'), 'w').write (r'''

[snip]

cmd = 'cd %s && bibtex %s' % (out_dir, tmpfile)

not including other adjustments w.r.t. out_dir.  Another solution is
setting bib2html working dir to outdir in makefile command line.

It's more a problem of working directories in this case IMHO.

Best,
John
