[Bug-AUCTeX] 2005-06-09; `make' tries to run texi2dvi now on Windows

[Christian Schlauer]

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.

If the bug (or problem) is triggered by a specific (La)TeX
file, you should try to produce a minimal sample file showing the
problem and include it in your report.

Your bug report will be posted to the AUCTeX bug reporting list.

I have problems during `make' in the doc directory, see below. This is
with a snapshot from Reiner's page.

So it tries to use `/usr/bin/texi2dvi', which is Cygwin, but then
MiKTeX enters the scene, and things get messed up!?

I think this is the first time that make tries to do something in the
doc directory. I think before it didn't try to run `texi2dvi'. Let's
see, I'll check with AUCTeX 11.55:
