I was affraid that using \ptexi wasn't appropriate, but using
\dotless{i} didn't work for me at first.

I just tried again at your request. I found that writing:

    \gdef^^ed{\'\dotless{i}}

doesn't work and TeX complains that "the argument for \dotless has an
extra }". I was puzzled for a while, but then realized that the reason
was that \' was passed only \dotless as its argument, not \dotless{i},
so to make it work I had to write:

    \gdef^^ed{\'{\dotless i}}

I'll be replacing \ptexi with \dotless in the next patch I send
(hopefully implementing latin2 support, also).

By the way. Is it ok that I send only the result of a cvs diff command? 
Or should I send the modified texinfo.tex file? This is because I'm not 
sure what's better for you when you have to merge the changes into the 
source tree.
