>Description:
makeinfo (from the GNU texinfo package) says it is version 4.0 (circa 1999).
The latest version is 4.2 and there are non-trivial changes between these two and the format of .texinfo files they process.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Unless there is any reason to keep version 4.0, can we upgrade to the latest
stable release?
