      --enable-multiplatform

Sounds like a fine thing to add.  Can you send me the entire fragment
for configure.ac?

     We also do not build the info utility, because I have not yet found
     a way to make sure that an info binary compiles on system A also
     works on system B.

You mean two different Solaris versions or something?  Well, you're not
missing much by not having info, imho, but you could use --dribble to
read input from a file and check that the output is reasonable.  (Like
just a file containing `q' and see if the output contains the dir
entries or something.)

      Make: Don't know how to make install-info-am.  Stop.
    Did you use a modifies automake version?

Yes.  Had to, otherwise it compiles install-info every time :(.
See diff below.

    I have integrated Texinfo (4.2) into teTeX and TeX Live the same day
    that I have read the announce :-)

Great!


Thanks,
