There seems to be a constant stream of queries
from people looking for texinfo.tex,
or wondering what it is.
I've found differences between different versions of texinfo
causing problems printing GNU documents.

Why doesn't GNU just drop texinfo,
and use standard LaTeX?
If there really are special needs in GNU documents --
and I haven't come across any --
why not write a GNU style file gnu.sty,
for use with LaTeX?
