Re: CVS HEAD: configure: error: makeinfo >= 4.6 is required on Mac OS X

[Thien-Thi Nguyen]

here is an excerpt from texinfo 4.6 NEWS:

* Language:
  . new command @/ specifies an allowable breakpoint within a line.
  . new command @dofirstparagraphindent to control whether the first
    paragraph following a section heading is indented.  Default is to
    omit this indentation, unlike the output up to now.
  . new command @indent for explicitly indenting a paragraph.
  . makeinfo writes a new construct for @image in Info output, so that
    graphical Info browsers (such as Emacs Info under X) can display an
    actual image.  (Standalone Info ignores this, since it runs in a tty.)

i see that "grep @indent man/*.texi" yields nine hits.
so how about replacing the version check, like so:

+ echo @indent > conftest.texi
+ if test "$MAKEINFO" != "no" ; then
+    test $MAKEINFO conftest.texi >dev/null 2>&1 || MAKEINFO=no
+ fi
+ rm -f conftest.texi

such a construct is more in line w/ autoconf usage philosophy
(ie, don't check version; check desired features directly).
