This patch should still build with older Texinfo versions (albeit, I hadn't tested 4.7, I missed that requirement). The unreleased version should be installed on the server building HTML documentation as it produces better results w.r.t clickable anchors and index-in-table handling. It should not be a hard dependency, and should only degrade to its current state should in-dev Texinfo be missing. It might be worth bumping the minimum, 4.7 is a version from 2004; in the meanwhile, I'll try a few older versions too. Thanks, have a lovely day. -- Arsen Arsenović
