Additionally, it would end up being supported forever, two different
naming schemes in texi2dvi. Anyone modifying texi2dvi would waste time
looking at code to support the multiple naming schemes, and scrolling
past it in the text editor. As well as wasting time thinking about it
and trying to work out if it'll affect other changes they want to make
to texi2dvi.
