Judging by the syntax and commands used in the examples, it was the Makefile. It would probably be easier to do it from the configure.bat script, but disabling makeinfo completely is not the same as anything else we do from the script, so it is not a simple case of copying some existing code. Previously when this was discussed, the conclusion was this: In the actual Emacs release, we should include all the Info files pre-made. People who want to build from CVS will have to learn to install Makeinfo. I'd say the opposite: assume that if the Texinfo files are newer than the Info files, makeinfo is _always_ present. All you risk is an error message. I agree. When people install the standard release, the Info files will always be newer than the Texinfo files. This is not just a good idea, it is also how all past releases have been handled.
