However, this seems to be hardcoding something that texinfo has
perfectly good macros for, and it's also missing the standard GCC-manual

@titlepage
@title Installing GCC

Actually, having looked at a few others just now, I was a bit hasty in
thinking that was standard -- that particular example is what cpp.texi
uses, but nothing else is quite the same.
Given that the _real_ situation seems to be that no two manuals have the
same title format (except for gcc.texi and gccint.texi), are there any
opinions on me coming up with a standard format for this, and proposing
a patch to standardize them?
In particular, the CPP subtitle of "for GCC version..." seems to me to
be a useful thing to put on the cover, but in most of the manuals the
version number hides in the small print on the copyright page, if it's
anywhere at all. Is there some good reason for hiding it there?
