Don't want to disappoint people, but I found at least one info page that
is not properly displayed by pinfo, namely, the cvs info page.  To
reproduce, "pinfo cvs" and follow the "Index" link.  Then search for
"cvsrc".  The link "~/.cvsrc" does not appear as a link in pinfo (but does
in info).

$ cygcheck -s -v -r | grep '[px]info'
pinfo               0.6.6p1-1
texinfo             4.2-4

I'm usually the first to recommend pinfo, so please consider this a bug
report.
