I see two possibilities: revert above patch, and list texinfo 4.11 as
prerequisite for building the pdf/dvi (I tried this version with the
current tree and above patch reverted). One alternative is to hack path
replacement into Makefile.in for MinGW. Ugly and error-prone, so I will
not recommend it at this point.
One question I have, Eric and FX: do you both have self-built texinfo on
MinGW? Because the specially-built one in /usr/bin should be able to
handle the file names just fine. I don't remember though which version
mingw.org provides, probably an older one only. If not, another
possibility would be to just require users on MinGW to update their
system texinfo installation.
Proposed patch for the first alternative (trunk and 4.2) below. OK?
Thanks, and sorry for the breakage.
