Drat!

I saw that the package successfully _built_ with texinfo-5 installed, 
but I neglected to check the full install operation.  It looks like the 
upstream fix wasn't quite compatible with install-info.

I just checked maxima-5.31.1-2 in, and that restores the patch that I 
had been using to force the use of the system's makeinfo.  Keep an eye 
out for that.
