Sure - 'makeinfo' is called (as many other utilities) according to $PATH 
contents, and in case of my AppsFromScratch $PATH automatically contains

/mnt/sdb8/sergei/AFSWD_debug/20120424/texinfo-4.13/bin

path element (of course, it is not hard coded, it's just this way on my 
desktop), and in it:

"
address@hidden:~/junk> ls -ltr 
/mnt/sdb8/sergei/AFSWD_debug/20120424/texinfo-4.13/bin
total 1252

".

Rita, you are happily stepping on many rakes I've already stepped.
