I tried to build the XEmacs packages and couldn't because the package
tramp requires Texinfo 4.2. I believe the only issue is the appearance
of "＠copy" tags which are not supported in Texinfo 4.1.
If the "＠copy" tag can't be conditionalized, why not just remove it
until updates to the various distros catch up to Texinfo 4.2.
