Re: makeinfo not built to run under win32 ?


AFAIK the texinfo part of gcc is not intended to be maintained, rather
will be removed from that distribution, so it seems logical enough to
remove it ourselves when we already have a satisfactory makeinfo
incorporated in cygwin.  Yes, Mumit did a great deal of the work to
include cygwin with secondary support or whatever they call it in gcc,
but that doesn't extend to the texinfo part of gcc, which we don't need.
