I find the ports of the last two versions from GnuWin32 to be
generally okay. The stand-alone Info reader is broken, since it uses
termcap, and the Windows shell window doesn't support any
termcap-style commands. But other than that, all the other binaries
work quite well.
So I think we should indeed add such a recommendation to INSTALL.
But it would be nice not to need Texinfo if one is building the
release tarball. I'll try to think of a way not to invoke makeinfo
unless really required.
Btw, there's one other related issue: why do we need to invoke
install-info when we install the built binaries? THe file info/dir
that comes with the distribution (and is part of CVS) already has all
the entries in it, right? If we could eliminate the need for running
install-info, it would be easier to avoid asking ``normal'' users to
have Texinfo installed.
