dvi, pdf rules: incorrect invocation of texi2dvi, texi2pdf

Hi, Automake generates rules for creating DVI and PDF formatted documentation that rely on the TEXINPUTS variable. This variable appears to have not the desired effect in recent TeX distributions. How to reproduce: - Install texinfo 4.13 in your PATH. - Unpack GNU hello 2.4. $ ./configure - Get
