That would be a problem for many users. So I think we should still install info files as a fall-back, and only require to run makeinfo when some option (like Info-hide-note-references) is explicitly turned on. That could be a good idea. Anything that involves installing Texinfo files needs work at the system architecture level--to arrange to install them alongside the info files.
