I note that the build of xemacs-21.4.12 depends on makeinfo.
If makeinfo is absent this prevents xemacs from building
and installing cleanly. Sure, I can fix this in my environment
by getting makeinfo from a TeX distribution, but IMO this
should not be necessary. Can't this be figured out by
the configure script? Couldn't it be an option on the
configure script so when it checks for makeinfo a missing
makeinfo is fatal by default but can be ignored via a suitable
command line option (e.g --makeinfo=no) ? Please consider
this as an enhancement request.
