Before this thread I was (blissfully??) ignorant of info files, /usr/share/info/ 
having totally escaped my notice. As my workstation is kind of old, I still have 
texinfo, so I took a look at the make documentation. Some useful stuff. So my 
question [ at last :) ] Why remove the command and not reformat the files or 
make them a part of one or both ports? The files are relatively useless without 
texinfo or pinfo.
