I haven't looked closely at the new code. However, I know that we used to do some mildly funky stuff in order to ship texinfo/texinfo.tex with a binutils release, while still supporting building texinfo with all-texinfo, install-texinfo, etc., if the complete texinfo sources were present in the source directory. That was important for the Cygnus source tree and Cygnus releases--a binutils release did not have the Texinfo sources, but a Cygnus tools release did. I doubt this is important for the binutils tree, which as far as I know never has the texinfo sources anyhow. Ian
