Summary: build info docs from tex sources
Initial Comment:
This patch adds Milan Zamazals conversion script and
modifies the mkinfo script to build the info doc files
from the latex sources. Currently, the mac, doc and
inst tex files are not handled.

Accepted for both the 2.2 maintenance branch and the trunk.
(It still doesn't work for me, but reasonably reports that
it can't run the expected version of Emacs.)
Checked in as:
Makefile 1.242, 1.235.2.1.2.9
info/Makefile 1.8, 1.7.16.1
info/python.dir 1.4, 1.2.30.2
tools/mkinfo 1.3, 1.2.30.1
tools/py2texi.el 1.1, 1.1.2.1

Find below the updated patch, which explicitely checks for
GNU Emacs 21. So this is more robust than the previous one.
Having the choice of building no info docs with the current
version, building the info docs with a specific tool is a
better solution.

give them a tool for fishing, not fishes ... ;-)

I just installed emacs 20.7 'cause those are the RPMs that
came with the distro I have on this box (RedHat 7.2), and
that produced a similar error. I'll have to ask that a more
robust patch be available before I can spend more time on
it; this one will be marked as rejected. Until then, I'm
glad to publish contributed GNU info versions provided by
community members.
For the record, here's the specific error output I got and
the FSF Emacs version info:

Yes, forget to mention that Milan said, it only works for
emacs. I built the info docs using emacs-21.2

For the record, here's the specific errors I get when using
XEmacs with this patch on the current release22-maint branch
(hopefully SF won't munge them too badly):

I'll add a note here just in case: This patch applies to
the 2.3 development as well as 2.2 maintenance tree.
This still seems to suffer the problems that all versions of
this conversion have suffered; it isn't portable between FSF
Emacs and XEmacs. I'll see about installing FSF Emacs to
see if it'll work for me there.
