Yes, this leaves the literature index un-built, but it was
previously not being built anyway, and in a way that stopped the

right direction.
OUTGENHTMLS = $(addprefix $(outdir)/, $(GENHTMLS:%=%.html))
ifeq ($(out),www)
-local-WWW-2: $(addprefix $(outdir)/, $(BIB_FILES:.bib=.html) index.html)
+# temporary build fix; we don't know yet what's happening
+# to the literature index. -gp
+# local-WWW-2: $(addprefix $(outdir)/, $(BIB_FILES:.bib=.html) lit-index.html)
