Re: Making texi2dvi more robust to broken texinfo.tex

[Karl Berry]

    So I propose the following patch that makes it an error to fail to
    compile a simple Texinfo file.

Ok in general.  However, that patch removes the assignment of txiformat
and txiversion, but the code still uses them.  Either the definitions
need to be restored (wow, that is ugly code setting them), or the uses
should go away if we're not going to worry about old texinfo.tex's any
more.

Which I think is ok.  Even the ancient version that shipped with redhat9
had it.

Can you adjust the patch?

Thanks.
