The build process already does that: it requires Texinfo 4.7 ore
later.

The only problem with that is that the produced Info files don't have
a coding cookie in them, so Emacs doesn't set up the decoding
correctly.  That's not a fatal problem, and doesn't cause trouble with
other Info readers, so I think we can still stick with 4.7.
