You also have a program called ``makedoc'' there.  It would be probably
enough to distribute its output.

And there is a cute program called install-info.  You have to run it
during install time.  It seems you really *need* to run a native build of
that.

So I'm afraid the solution wouldn't be that _simple_.

Please forgive me if this mail doesn't sound polite...  I don't mean it.
