isnt it possible to retain texi2html support for a transition
period, that is until all major distrbutions support a recent
makeinfo/texi2any ?

iam not sure how many of our users use te html documentation but
i suspect many would have to install makeinfo/texi2any from source
due to lack of distro packages if they want to build the html docs
