> Has anyone ported info and makeinfo to djgpp yet?

Thorsten Ohl's port of the makeinfo and info programs is available from the
usual sources. However, this is an older version which has problems formatting
newer texi files. I once did a port of makeinfo (and also the texindex program
required to make the indexes related to texi documents, which is not included
in Thorsten Ohl's package), using djgpp 1.09. The sources were from texinfo
2.16 (it appears to me that 3.0 is newest), and the port was fairly easy (some
minor adaptions in the code which reads the texi files and the code which
creates sub-filenames was necessary, though). The info documents created
with texinfo 2.16 seemed to work properly with Thorsten Ohl's info program,
so I didn't bother to port that one to djgpp as well. If anybody is
interested in this, I could upload diffs and executables to some suitable
place.
