I'm somewhat confused since I (occasionally ?) still get something like
the following

C:\emacs\trunk\nt>make info
make   -C ../doc/emacs info
make[1]: Entering directory `C:/emacs/trunk/doc/emacs'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `info'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `C:/emacs/trunk/doc/emacs'
make   -C ../doc/misc info
make[1]: Entering directory `C:/emacs/trunk/doc/misc'
makeinfo --force gnus.texi
makeinfo --force calc.texi
calc.texi:10: @include `emacsver.texi': No such file or directory.
make[1]: *** [../../info/calc] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `C:/emacs/trunk/doc/misc'
make: *** [info-gmake] Error 2

with this morning's checkout.  Any clues?
