Well texi2dvi is very clever and run makeindex or bibtex as needed and does that quite well until you encounter some of the bugs. In my case I encountered the infamous regex range in non-standard locales bug. In conclusion, if texi2dvi works for you, using it is a good option. HTH -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
