      Anyone who knows if it's possible to include LaTeX pictures in Texinfo
      (2.18..) or any other sort of pictures/graphics for that matter ?

   Yes, you can include Encapsulated PostScript figures in Texinfo, to be
   formatted by an appropropriate typesetter, but please try to avoid
   doing so.

I'm not sure that's what Constantin is asking about.  In LaTeX, there's a
picture mode, with which you can do simple diagrams and other stuff.
I think it shouldn't be impossible to have something similar, but for the
same reason you ask Constantin to avoid EPS pictures, I'd ask him to avoid
LaTeX pictures.
