If we ship the pre-built info docs with the source tarballs (as GNU programs normally do), then people's ability to build their own docs with obsolete makeinfo's is not of paramount importance. 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. > Or maybe we should think about abandoning (!)
