Re: texinfo-4.9: texi2dvi '-o' option is broken

    I think automake is objecting to that, expecting only one copy of
    the .dvi file to exist after texi2dvi runs.

I made the change below, let me know.

Unfortunately there are still cases where original.dvi can be left,
namely on subsequent runs (ie, when the cmp succeeds).  I am finding it
hard to disentangle the logic of all this.

But I think doing mv instead of cp will at least help the automake test
scenario?

Thanks,
Karl
