make install-html does not honor --prefix

Hello,

Nothing important, since I could build the doc in the tree using makeinfo and copy it
where expected, but from the git repo,

	./autogen.sh
	./configure --prefix=/opt2
	make
	make check
	make install

all fine, but

	make install-html

tries to install in

	$HOME/Kawa/api

instead of

	$prefix/share/doc/kawa/kawa.html/


	['kawa', not 'Kawa'

and [although probably almost complete] fails with en error [1]

Cheers,
David
