If we do not distribute the pre-built infos, we should at least try to make sure people can build them with the versions of makeinfo that are generally available. Depending on the latest-and-greatest versions of software in order to build XEmacs is permissible, but annoying. Please please not that discussion again. Texinfo serves nicely for what we want to do.
