Texinfo is great for looking up pieces of information in a reference
manual. However, when it comes to reading a sizable part, I much prefer
PDFs with a much superior graphic quality and scaling capability and
would like to keep it (my eyes aren't in great conditions). I think we
can drop PS. DVI is not installed. HTML is required by
'emacs-mit-scheme-doc'.
