Further to my previous fix to texinfo.tex for @include @value
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2008-02/msg00000.html>, it
turns out there's still a problem if the expanded value contains the
character '+' (and probably other special characters). The use of
\filenamecatcodes only suffices for characters directly on the @include
line, since the @set argument will previously have been parsed with + and
other characters active. Thus \turnoffactive is needed so that the active
characters from the @value expansion just expand to themselves rather than
to more complicated expansions suitable for printing but not for file
names. I propose this patch. (For the testcase, see my previous message,
and change the include directory name to something like "i+d".)

* doc/texinfo.tex (\includezzz): Use \turnoffactive before
expanding @value.
