Great! There's one other thing related to doclets which I'd like to 
brush up first - a service provider interface allowing you to invoke 
other doclets with e.g. "-docletid texinfo" - then I'll put into CVS 
what I have so far. I hope that I manage to do so in the next couple of 
days.

For this incarnation of TexiDoclet, so far I've put an emphasis on 
printable output (PS, PDF) as opposed to Info format. This is not to say 
that it's not intended for generating Info - on the contrary - but 
there's quiet some work left to do before the Texinfo output can be 
converted to well-formatted on-screen docs.

No, gcc 4 is only required for the native build. You can compile and run 
the bytecode version using jikes and kaffe, for instance. Just specify 
--disable-native at configure time.
