[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55371] Add configure flag to specify makeinfo path

[Arun Isaac]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #55371 (project octave):

A distribution configuration file is possible, but it would be simpler to have
a configure flag. Or better still, if the configure system could automatically
find makeinfo and substitute the path as the default value of
makeinfo_program. Is this a reasonable request?

Currently, the Guix octave package does patch libinterp/corefcn/help.h. But,
this approach is quite fragile and can break in future releases. Hence, the
desire for a better approach.
