Now that's interesting. Neither texinfo 5.1 nor 5.2 catches this
error, but texinfo 4.13a does. I will push a fix for the problem
shortly. However, you will just hit another error: texinfo 4.13a
cannot build the texinfo 5.2 info files.
I don't know why we ship texinfo info files anyway. I don't know what
other distributions do, but in Fedora, we deliberately throw away the
XEmacs copies of these files, because they conflict with the ones
installed by the texinfo package itself. Why are we distributing some
other project's info files? Can we stop doing that?
I think we *must* stop doing that, given the incompatibilities between
4.x and 5.x. I'll submit a patch.
