texinfo Recommends texidoc.  That makes it hard to do that.

Do you think that that is a mistake ?  If there is a general feeling
that texinfo is quite useful without texidoc I shall change it.  (I'm
inclined to make the change, personally.)

I've filed this as a bug against texinfo, because that's what I think
it is.
