Kind of, you have to point --build-dir to a build tree where
dependencies have been dropped already, and --srcdir-name should be
the name used to refer to the srcdir from the build dir, so that
#included dependencies are made relative to $(srcdir), not
/home/law/egcs-src/texinfo/... :-)
Unless there has been some update in the texinfo tree in the trunk, it
would probably be easier to just copy the Makefile.ins.
