>Description:

	on a 1.5.3ish machine, with TZ=Australia/Melbourne, bison will attempt
	to rebuild the texi files.  this is because when it checks to see if
	the ./doc/version.texi file is upto date, it uses the modification time
	of ./doc/bison.texi in the _current timezone_ to determine whether or
	not the file has changed.  as the mod time of ./doc/bison.texi in
	Australia/Melbourne is 00:21, this updates ./doc/version.texi and the
	tries to run makeinfo, but fails, as it requires modern makeinfo.

>How-To-Repeat:

	attempt to install bison on 1.5.3 with TZ=Australia/Melbourne or any
	timezone further away from GMT.

>Fix:

	a work around is to call the build with "TZ=GMT" in the environment...
	this is what i did.
