texinfo is already in bootstrap tools. The problem is that we do not have
such a thing like `install' tools. Apparently, every tool we are using
at installworld stage, should be compiled `static' at buildworld stage,
and then these tools should be used at installworld. Among these tools,
there should be at least xinstall and install-info.

I could MFC the -current texinfo into -stable, so installworld of
-current would be possible from the latest -stable, but...
Another possibility would be to add install-tools target to Makeinfo.inc1
to statically build install tools like xinstall and install-info, and
use them at installworld stage. I will prepare the patch tomorrow, will
test it on my -stable machine, and will then send it to -current.
