Thanks.

I had the compilation warnings shown at the end of this message when
building this with MinGW on MS-Windows.

I ignored the realloc warnings: they seem to be due to fighting
between Gnulib redefinitions and Perl headers redefinitions, and I see
no way of avoiding them.  They also seem harmless.

The popen/pclose issue seems more serious; I fixed it like this:

If you agree, I will install this in the Texinfo repository.

Here are the warnings (btw, why does the compilation command say
"-DVERSION=\"6.0\""? shouldn't it be 6.1 instead?):
