The reason had nothing to do with makeinfo itself, but with the fact
that I had problems with building it.  With the official 4.8
release, I don't encounter any problems in this respect.

I got the CVS version and called "bootstrap", then configure with
"--enable-maintainer-mode".  However, "make" doesn't make those
*.gmo files that are apparently necessary for the translation.  I
see no error messages, only with "make install".

I have autoconf 2.59 and automake 1.9.1.  Are these versions too
old?  (On the other hand, I remember Texinfo used to complain if
these programms were too old.)

Tschö,
Torsten.
