#2 (Something to generate HTML-Info from Texinfo input) is the really
hard bit because mostly it is in C right now. It can be done by wrapping
the existing Texinfo, like I am doing right now. But that results in a
more complex system than we have now.

But I think a good thing to do would be to develop #4 along with #1 and
#3. So they are all linked.
