There is an option to send output files (.html,.css,.png) files to
a directory other than the current directory. For example

        htlatex sample2e "" "" "-d~/home_page/test"

will send the output files to ~/home_page/test.

This can be combined with temporary directory creation to solve
this problem by creating a shell script as follows that has the same
arguments as "htlatex".

================
#!/bin/sh

CURDIR=$PWD
TMPDIR=$(mktemp -d /tmp/tex4ht.XXXXXX)

cd $TMPDIR
ln -s $CURDIR/. .

htlatex "$1" "$2" "$3" "$4 -d$CURDIR"
================

But perhaps you knew this and meant that this should be included as an
option for mk4ht?

Thanks and regards,

Kapil.
