Thanks!

Nikolay, could you please apply the patch below both to bin/makeinfo
and to bin/texi2any, and see if that resolves the problem?  (The patch
is to texi2any.pl, which is not a file that is installed, but the same
code fragments are present in the above 2 files which _are_ installed,
so you will need to apply the patch by hand, or force Patch to apply
it to those 2 specific files via command-line options.)

If you say this fixes the problem, I will upload a fixed distribution
to ezwinports.
