makeinfo problem

[Werner LEMBERG]

I'm not sure that this code:

  # makeinfo <= 4.6 image bug workaround
  if [ $(MAKEINFO_VERSION) -le 4006000 ]; then \
    (cd $(outdir) && \
    ls -1 lily-*.ly | sed 's/.ly$$/.txt/' | xargs touch) || true; \
  fi

from ly-rules.make is optimal.  With newer versions of makeinfo you
get zillions of warnings like

  cheatsheet.texi:505: warning:
    @image file `lily-1833847643.txt' (for text) unreadable:
    No such file or directory.

Wouldn't it be better to always create (empty) .txt files, regardless
of the makeinfo version to avoid those messages?
