If we can generate the texinfo from the DocBook XML, then we get that
for free.  db2texi did work OK for this at one point (haven't used it
lately but the CVS is updated from time to time).

I would prefer that we store DocBook XML in CVS and generate texinfo
from that, if it ever becomes an issue we can commit TexInfo sources
in place of DocBook.
