| That's only the version for the 3.2 branch. For 3.3 and mainline you need
| at least 4.2.

| At present, increasing the required version (when there's a new feature we
| want to use) involves changing configure.in and updating install.texi

| required version number - just reference install/build.html for details of

Then propose a scheme that makes it possible to "know" the required
version of makeinfo. Otherwise, you're just encouraging all sort of chaos.
