Follow-up Comment #18, bug #35187 (project octave):

I see that people have already tried this. So you already know that other
versions of makeinfo.exe work. 

I got a pointer to a texinfo Windows 32 binary built from a snapshot of the
latest source code. It is dated Jan 8, 2012. See
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ezwinports/files/. The makeinfo.exe in the
binary works too. 

Note that system("makeinfo --version") reports  

makeinfo (GNU texinfo) 4.13

So be careful about versioning if you use it.
