Public bug reported:
Just grab a .texi file and do a
texi2dvi <filename.texi>
texi2dvi will call pdflatex instead of latex and will therefore create
an pdf, not a dvi file.
Why this is bad?
Every autoconf-based program offers a
make distcheck
target that - if any texinfo documentation is present - will call
texi2dvi and will abort with an error message if no .dvi file is
generated.
