Hello,
Noticed that the texinfo 4.0 doco mentions that, when building
documentation, the sequence:
tex
texindex
tex
texindex
tex
should be used. The attached does this.
Ok?
Andrew

To summarize, this is a five step process:
1. Run `tex' on your Texinfo file. This generates a DVI file (with
undefined cross-references and no indices), and the raw index files
(with two letter extensions).
2. Run `texindex' on the raw index files. This creates the
corresponding sorted index files (with three letter extensions).
3. Run `tex' again on your Texinfo file. This regenerates the DVI
file, this time with indices and defined cross-references, but
with page numbers for the cross-references from last time,
generally incorrect.
4. Sort the indices again, with `texindex'.
5. Run `tex' one last time. This time the correct page numbers are
written for the cross-references.

* Makefile.in: Update copyright.
(gdb.dvi, gdb.pdf, gdbint.dvi, gdbint.pdf): Use the sequence tex,
texindex, tex, texindex, tex, when generating documents.

Which begs a question: why don't we use texi2dvi, like God intended?
I've seen quite a few documents where the tex/texindex duet is run
more than 2 times, until the indices converge. Why should we
second-guess a well-established tool such as texi2dvi?

Lost in history I suspect (I do remember very early on finding texi2dvi
unreliable or nonexistant?).
BTW, how do I get texi2dvi to run pdftex.

Found it, burried in the output from ``texi2dvi --help''.
How is the attached?
