Is it the case that if you were to install texinfo 4.11, then it would 
build?  If so, I think we should just add a release note that you can't 
build the documentation with the standard installation of MinGW due to 
this issue, and, perhaps, automatically disable building it on MinGW 
systems.

Or, is it the case that the patch to use abs_srcdir means that no matter 
what Texinfo you have, it's not going to work on MinGW?
