makeinfo version check when compiling emacs-cvs

makeinfo version check when compiling emacs-cvs

[Steve Wen]

Hi, I compiled emacs cvs unicode-2 branch today, and found the configure
progress cannot continue because a error says I'm not having texinfo
>=4.6, although it is 4.11 installed here. I looked into the code in
configure and fix it with these:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
--- old/configure	2007-08-29 13:03:31.000000000 +0800
+++ new/configure	2007-10-10 11:00:15.000000000 +0800

 if test "$MAKEINFO" != "no" && \

    MAKEINFO=no
 fi

I'm not sure is it a bug or something, if it is, please fix it, thanks.

This was fixed some time ago in the cvs trunk. If your unicode-2 is
up-to-date, then I guess this change has not yet migrated from the
trunk to that branch.
