Ah, I just grep'ed in raw git repository, not bootstrapped.

Yes, that is the latest version.

Indeed -- maybe put all of those updating commands in .bootstrap? 
Perhaps only run them on a --download parameter or similar.

I agree texinfo.tex appears unused (nettle.texinfo is processed with
makeinfo and texi2pdf). If it is deleted, Makefile.in DISTFILES need
updating as well.

I think install-sh is referenced by AC_PROG_INSTALL, which is used in
configure.ac, and it seems install-sh is mentioned in the generated
configure script.

Should I just copy latest version from
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/tree/build-aux/install-sh ?

Probably a good idea to also update config.guess and config.sub to
latest versions (previous update in Nettle was a year ago).
