It's less a fork and more a continuation. The website of "old" tidy
(http://tidy.sourceforge.net/) points to this version as the successor,
and in both the new site and the github readme, the new software is
always called "tidy" or "HTML Tidy". The name "tidy-html5" only shows up
in the URL of the GitHub repository (but except for URLs, not in the
repository itself). For that reason, I think PKGNAME should drop the
-html5 suffix.
