Couldn't the developer specify the minimum version of Texinfo which is required in order to handle the docs? If the developer doesn't have time to verify older versions, then he can just specify the version he used. Presumably Texinfo strives to be upward compatible with older versions. If not, then it is broken. This could be handled similar to the way Automake tests for a recent enough Python (i.e. via an Autoconf macro).
