IMVHO emacs giving problems is less a problem than URL stability: Info
mode could be fixed. Paul, can we please revert this change in
Autoconf? If need be, I'll learn emacs to submit a patch so that it
copes.
What are the errors in makeinfo by the way, and how do they manifest
themselves in the info file? Asking because I haven't come across
them and apparently they weren't the cause for this bug report either.
If they are a major issue then I'll shut up.
Cheers,
Ralf
