IMHO, we could assume 4.0 even for GDB 5.1. Texinfo 4.0 was released a year and a half ago, and there's the v4.0c pretest already on alpha.gnu. So it would appear that 3.x is _way_ obsolete by now. If we decide to assume 4.0 now, it doesn't really require us to take any action, except stop testing with 3.12f. We could delay the cleanup of the ugly hacks we put into the Texinfo sources until 5.2.
