I don't see how that patch would make a difference. Older texinfo=20 versions don't have texi2any and 'configure' would continue to use=20 'makeinfo' as before. And in newer texinfo versions, 'texi2any' and=20 'makeinfo' are aliases and 'configure' would also continue to use=20 'makeinfo' as before. So why bother to change 'configure'?
