Well I have tried. Hmmm...
Now it works with makeinfo, but TeX runs out of space:
! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [parameter stack size=60].
I use it like:
ford@'{dotless{i}}totta
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The surrounding curly braces are necessary, because otherwise TeX
complains:
! Argument of @dotless has an extra }.
If I use @'{@ptexi}, then only makeinfo has the problem.
I have tried it with two absolutely different TeX distributions/systems.
Any idea ? I have none with this.

Ok, I will use that. Above described problem is the same.

Ok. I try to create. I will try to redefine the necessary keywords.
I will report back, when I did it.

Yes, well, hmmm ...
Just using the "\input huhyph.tex" is not enough, because there is already
a pattern in plain format, so I have to use something like "\language 1"
and then \input ... Then the dumping works, but the created texinfo.fmt is
_never_ used. Ok, I know I am not a TeX expert, but with other formats
(like plain, latex) I could do this modification, but I do not
know/understand which program should use the texinfo.fmt file. If I delete
all texinfo.tex files and only texinfo.fmt stays in the appropriate web2c
directory and there are proper settings for the directory, because all
other formats are used appropriately, then "tex gawk.texi" will
simply complain that it cannot find texinfo.fmt . So it does not work.
At the moment I simply use the modified texinfo.tex with hyphenation and
initex gawk.texi
which works, but definitely not ideal.
Summarising my problems:
- using dotless makes TeX to use up all internal space
- including hyphenation is possible only with initex (encoding may not be
all right at all ? - hyphenation after an accented charater is somehow
not done)
