Hi, I routinely make my MS-Windows/MinGW builds of Texinfo for others to use, here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ezwinports/ Recently, a user complained to me that starting with Texinfo 6.7, the Texinfo Perl scripts won't work unless the binary distro is installed in the same directory for which I configured it. This is unfortunate, since it requires users to modify their installation trees and/or PATH variables to follow my local conventions. Would it be possible to restore the capability we evidently had in Texinfo 6.6 and before, whereby the Perl scripts could use directory names relative to their invocation directory? I believe that code was changed for unrelated reasons (perhaps to support better the use-case of running Texinfo uninstalled?), but the ability to relocate the installation root of the scripts is IMO also valuable, regardless. Could we please resurrect this ability in a future release of Texinfo? TIA
