There are two ways to make .info files from a .texinfo file.  The first
is to use texinfo-format-buffer inside gnu emacs.  Very recent texinfo
files may not format correctly with the texinfo-format-buffer in 18.55.

The second way is to use the standalone makeinfo program that comes with
the elisp manual (elisp.tar.Z, if I remember right), on prep.ai.mit.edu.
This is your best bet.
