Re: [bug #43122] texi2dvi does not compile enough times to get toc

[Karl Berry]

    are the TeXLive engine MSys application ? 

There is no explicit support for msys in TeX Live, as far as I can
recall.  There is support for cygwin and native Windows.

    How do you handle texi2xxx
    tools for MSW in TeXLive ?

I'm not sure what you're asking, but as you know, texi2dvi is a shell
script.  There is no special attempt to make a "Windows equivalent" of
it that is not a shell script.  Thus it cannot be used by people on
native Windows without any Unix tools installed.  This has never been a
problem.

Vincent, my question to you: is there any chance of you moving away from
MSYS?  Supporting such an old, non-free, Windows-based system
nontrivially complicates the code, affecting everyone.  As we have seen,
here and before, at great length.
