Responsible-Changed-Why:  
Dear Torsten, 

We received the following bug report today.  Since my record shows 
you bravely took the autoconf port by its horns (or feet or whatever) 
and became the official MAINTAINER (I'm not yelling, that's how we 
write it), I would like to protect your honor and assign this report 
to you.  I expect no less than perfection from our committers, as 
you know all too well. 

If you are unable to tame the beast for whatever reason, section 
x.y.z (where x and y and z are suitable numbers determined by today's 
handbook length) of the handbook may help.  Some crazy folk with the 
alias "meistersinger" wrote a long step-by-step introduction to 
install-info and ports. 

Yours truly, 
The Insignificant One

 Actually, modification to this port to use install-info was made by
 me.  However, the reported problem cannot be reproduced on my system.
 
 Possible reason for the error is, you have old makeinfo, or your
 ${PATH} is pointing at the directory that contains old makeinfo before
 at /usr/bin, where usable makeinfo resides.

State-Changed-Why:  
Through some private mail correspondence, it turned out that this problem  
was possibly caused by older version of makeinfo and it has been solved.
