Karl, what would you prefer?
I'm not sure I fully understand the choices.
I intentionally made the Texinfo build create the info files for the
Texinfo manuals, because if the newly-built Texinfo can't even manage to
do that, what good is it? Pregenerating the info files would just paper
over the real problem (a nonfunctional makeinfo with that old of Perl),
wouldn't it?
On the other hand, of course it would be nice to work with as old of
Perl as possible. But I gather there's no feasible way to deal with
5.6.2.
Which leads me to think that checking at configure time is the right
thing to do.
?
