makeinfo is part of texinfo, a package which always tells me it's not
supported under Windoze, yet the install script still wants to install it.
make -k install will get by this problem, but may hide other problems.

autoconf is a standard gnu program, which includes autoheader, and is easy to
install.  It requires gnu m4, which is already installed in standard gnu-
win32.

The difficult part of installing automake is perl, which is important enough
that someone has probably made up a version which should work for you.  egcs
will get along without automake if autoconf and autoheader are working.
