Agreed.  I did quite a bit of removal of references to makeinfo 
and texi2html.  I think that all that relates to texi2html is gone.

For makeinfo, there were some use of makeinfo in doc/ both for info
files generation and man pages (with --help).  I tried to do something
relevant, but I am not sure I did it right.  One thing that is different
is that there is no need to build texi2any to have it work.  Also setting
the paths for texi2any called as makeinfo is a bit clumsy.  If the --help
output of texi2any.pl, called with -I $(top_srcdir)/tp/ could be used
instead of what I came to:

  
PERL5LIB="$(top_srcdir)/tp/:$(top_srcdir)/tp/maintain/lib/libintl-perl/lib:$(top_srcdir)/tp/maintain/lib/Unicode-EastAsianWidth/lib:$(top_srcdir)/tp/maintain/lib/Text-Unidecode/lib:";
 export PERL5LIB

it could be better, and maybe more portable...
