Misuse of index in texinfo-4.7

[Prof Brian Ripley]

texinfo-4.7 has added in makeinfo/cmds.c line 673

  if (description[0] != '{' && index (description, ',') != NULL)

Now index is a BSDism but not ISO C and it is not tested for at
configure time. The equivalent strchr *is* ISO C.

This stops compilation under the MinGW environment for Windows unless
index is replaced by strchr.  Please use ISO C where available and test 
where not.
