You should import the original tar file into src/contrib/texinfo,
then apply any needed patches and commit them on the HEAD.  Having
the original source on the vendor branch makes merging new versions
much easier.

You should also create a BSD-style makefile in src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
derived from the makefile that configure creates.
