Yes, it absolutely can be controlled.

No, I don't know how to do it.  If you're not scared of perl -- and I
mean this honestly, without any insult implied; perl looks scary
(which is extremely stupid for a scripting language) -- then I'd
estimate it would be 1-2 hours to fix.

1.  Find the spot in the texi2html source code (not our init file)
that deals with anchors.
2.  Copy that function into our init file.
3,  Modify that function.

Estimates: 30-90 minutes are spent on #1, 30-90 seconds are spent on
#2, 15 minutes on #3, and whatever time is remaining is spent on
testing.
