Re: Pointer casts in texinfo-4.7

    it appears that there are at least three non-portable pointer
    casts in texinfo 4.7, which can be worked around by the diff
    attached below.

Thanks very much.  I applied the patch.  (Not to complain, but it is
helpful to send ChangeLog entries with patches.)

    BTW, the cast of integer values to pointers in order to fit with
    an argument list declaration leaves me with a somewhat foul taste
    in my mouth...

Yes, the code is ughly.

    And it would be even better to rewrite the function so that it uses
    va_list.

Yes, this would be best.  However, I doubt I will take the time to do it
at this point, so a patch would be most welcome.  (Not to mention a real
maintainer for Info, which has never been my principal focus.)
