This pretest builds OK with MinGW, and "make install" does install the
Windows batch files. Thanks.
The only problem left is that the Windows batch files have a '+'
character at the beginning of every line, probably some snafu while
applying the patch I sent to introduce those files. Please remove
those '+' characters, as they will prevent the batch files from
working.

Should we do anything about the speed of the new 'makeinfo'?
According to my measurements, it is about 18 times slower than the C
implementation from 4.13a. (I timed it on a Core i7 machine with a
warm cache producing the Emacs Lisp manual: the 4.13.93 implementation
took 27 seconds, while the C implementation from 4.13a took just 1.5
sec.) I'm afraid that such slowdown will trigger user complains.
