texinfo-3.11 merge

Just an FYI, I imported texinfo-3.11 into the egcs source tree
to replace whatever old version we were still running.

I saw many data files like *.po/*.gmo. Does egcs really need them?

They appear to be part of some multi-language support.

I'd prefer to keep them -- I'd like to see out texinfo tree move as
close to the net distributions as possible.

Texinfo 3.11 is buggy (especially install-info which should not affect
your users though), take 3.12.

These are related to internationalization. po files are readable
(they're just a mapping from English strings to <``foreign'' language>
strings.  They are meant to be edited by humans.  gmo files are GNU
gettext native ``compiled'' form of the po files for run time, read by
machines.

That would be nice.  The current texinfo public release version is 3.12!

I wasn't aware of 3.12 :-)  I guess I'll do another import/merge :-)
