Bug in makeinfo under cygwin

[Tim Prince]

I suppose that this topic is more appropriate for
cygwin@sourceware.cygnus.com .
I have been using the cwilson binary of makeinfo.  The major problem with it
is that
it does not recognize .texi files which contain \r line terminations, and
these always
appear when patching, as well as being present in gcc/f/*.texi from the
beginning.
Besides that, the install doesn't appear to work.  I think most people are
working
around by simply touching the .info files to avoid trying to build them.
