[Mark Mitchell]

One of my problems building egcs on mips-sgi-irix6.4 seems to have
been that I didn't have xgettext installed.  Is the top-level
configure secretly configuring texinfo?  I bet it is, since I don't
ever see texinfo's usual autoconf output.  Perhaps texinfo complained,
but I never knew about it?

At the very least, perhaps we should add something to the installation
guidelines that says that you must first install the gettext package.

Yea, I agree -- removing install-texinfo from INSTALL_MODULES is
simpler and less likely to get lost during a later merge.  Done.

Installed.

The attached patch should take care of that, although I think it might 
be easier to remove install-texinfo from INSTALL_MODULES.

The first patch will fix a problem I found on some of my local
systems: zlib is installed in non-standard directories.  The
previously-installed gcc can find libz.a, but it can't find zlib.h, so 
install-info.c failed to compile.  IMO, this should be applied in the
main texinfo sources too.

The rest of the patch modify texinfo so that nothing is installed.

   Is anyone familiar enough with automake to help me install a
   default rule to disable installation in the texinfo tree?

Where you see
    bin_PROGRAMS
change it to
    noinst_PROGRAMS
In some cases, there is already a noinst_PROGRAMS, in which case you
should just move the contents of bin_PROGRAMS to noinst_PROGRAMS, and
remove the old bin_PROGRAMS assignment.

Both of these are just make variables.

If anything other than programs are installed, similar changes are
needed: change the lib_* or whatever line to be noinst_* instead.

[Jeffrey A Law]

I've installed a patch from Jim which disables builds in the
problem directories since we really don't need to build them.

Is anyone familiar enough with automake to help me install a
default rule to disable installation in the texinfo tree?
