Subject: makeinfo needed by e2fsprogs

sysutils/e2fsprogs/Makefile already has:
.include "../../mk/texinfo.mk"
But building on a Linux system, this failed, because makeinfo was not
installed. Some operating systems may install a install-info without
makeinfo.
My workround for sysutils/e2fsprogs/Makefile:
.if !exists(/usr/bin/makeinfo)
BUILD_DEPENDS+= gtexinfo>=3.12:../../devel/gtexinfo
.endif
Maybe mk/texinfo.mk should check for makeinfo also?
I read "10.24 Packages providing info files" in Packages.txt.
(I am seeking discussion instead of send-pr'ing first.)
