I think the following is a bug in the texinfo distribution (here 3.12
as included by egcs's snapshot) : Each (even the smallest) modification
of a source file of texinfo-3.12 causes the `recompilation' of getinfo.pot.
Therefore xgettext is needed, but it is not provided although it is provided
by the gettext distribution that texinfo includes partially.
