Texinfo does OK with graphics, if you just want to include them
between paragraphs of text.  Where it becomes a poor choice is
when you want to have them alongside text or in figures separate
from the text; it doesn't support that kind of thing at all.  I
guess that the PSPPIRE documentation will be this kind of
document, where Texinfo is not a good choice.

I think DocBook might be a good choice for PSPPIRE documentation.
The GNOME documentation appears to be DocBook-based, so we'd be
in good company.
