There is a problem with characters such as &, % etc.: they are not
accepted as are by TeX, but the \ is not stripped by makeinfo:
/tmp % cat foo.texi nostromo 17:33
\input texinfo
@setfilename foo
@node Top
@top Top
@math{\&} and @math{\%}.
@math{&} and @math{%}.
@bye
/tmp % makeinfo foo.texi --no-header nostromo 17:33
Top
***
\& and \%.
& and %.
/tmp % texi2dvi -I ~/src/texinfo/doc foo.texi nostromo 17:35
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.7)

This is CVS makeinfo. I don't desperately need this, but at least
makeinfo could complain (?).
