    A different work around for generated Texinfo file problem
    
    * autogen.sh: setup a fake doc/tp_api/tp_api.texi to be able
    to run automake even if the file is not present, with a file
    timestamp set in the paste. Report from Werner Lemberg and solution
    adaptated from Gavin.
    
    * doc/tp_api/Makefile.am: Reset nodist_info_TEXINFOS to
    info_TEXINFOS, otherwise the file will not be in the distribution
    and users without mean to regenerate it will not have it.
