[Bug classpath/32766] New: configure should detect missing makeinfo

[psj at familyjenner dot co dot uk]

Trying to build Classpath CVS HEAD without makeinfo available passes on the
configure step but fails during make with:

make[2]: Entering directory
`/home/psj/software/java/working/classpath/build/doc'
restore=: && backupdir=".am$$" && \
        am__cwd=`pwd` && cd ../../doc && \
        rm -rf $backupdir && mkdir $backupdir && \
        if (/bin/sh /home/psj/software/java/working/classpath/missing --run
makeinfo --version) >/dev/null 2>&1; then \
          for f in ../../doc/cp-hacking.info ../../doc/cp-hacking.info-[0-9]
../../doc/cp-hacking.info-[0-9][0-9] ../../doc/cp-hacking.i[0-9]
../../doc/cp-hacking.i[0-9][0-9]; do \
            if test -f $f; then mv $f $backupdir; restore=mv; else :; fi; \
          done; \
        else :; fi && \
        cd "$am__cwd"; \
        if /bin/sh /home/psj/software/java/working/classpath/missing --run
makeinfo   -I ../../doc \
         -o ../../doc/cp-hacking.info ../../doc/cp-hacking.texinfo; \
        then \
          rc=0; \
          cd ../../doc; \
        else \
          rc=$?; \
          cd ../../doc && \
          $restore $backupdir/* `echo "./../../doc/cp-hacking.info" | sed
's|[^/]*$||'`; \
        fi; \
        rm -rf $backupdir; exit $rc

WARNING: `makeinfo' is missing on your system.  You should only need it if
         you modified a `.texi' or `.texinfo' file, or any other file
         indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual.  The spurious
         call might also be the consequence of using a buggy `make' (AIX,
         DU, IRIX).  You might want to install the `Texinfo' package or
         the `GNU make' package.  Grab either from any GNU archive site.
make[2]: *** [../../doc/cp-hacking.info] Error 1

configure should instead detect the missing makeinfo and either fail at that
stage or disable the building of the info doc - so the make step does not fail.
