try to preserve compatibility as much as possible,
Clearly, we want to be as backwards-compatible as possible in all respects.
That said, I'm much more concerned about compatibility at the info level
than at the texinfo level. Like Werner, I rather feel that if someone
messes with the documentation, it's reasonable for them to have the
necessary tools involved. Virtually everything (including Texinfo)
requires the latest automake/autoconf/gettext/etc., and I haven't seen
any complaints about that.
What we need is a conditional directive that can take a version as
an argument, similar to "#if __GNUC__ >= 3".)
Agreed.
