It took 5 minutes on a Core Duo, and 3 min on a Core i7 (vs 6 sec with
makeinfo 4.13).

Very sad.

I keep the v4.13a makeinfo around (and renamed the v5.0 to
'makeinfo5').

Btw, I think this fixing of the manuals should have been done on the
release branch, because users _will_ try building the manuals with
Texinfo 5 when Emacs 24.3 is released.
