Almost, true. Bruce says that the pdf-from-texinfo manual output from
an automake-generated Makefile is painful to read. He sent a patch to
Makefile.in to correct this problem. But I told him it'd be better to
talk to the automake maintainers about the problem.

Unfortunately, Bruce can't use this solution as he's running Windows
with some unix-on-windows tools.
