And the proposal for using '--tidy' in Automake 1.13 has been (basically)
implemented as part of this commit:

  <http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/automake.git/commit/?id=205c7572>

Actually, we ended up using per-manual and per-format '--build-dir' options, to
work around a bug still present in Texinfo 4.13 (but fixed in CVS Texinfo) that
could cause racy failures in parallel builds; but the effect of such option is
similar to the one we wanted to obtain using '--tidy'.  The commit message of
that change should explain in more details.

I'm thus closing this bug report.
