If such code is only triggerable on some hosts only, then IMO it
is broken, because the resulting files will not be movable between
hosts (e.g., generate on Unix, unpack on Windows/NTFS/FAT/Samba, whatnot).
Is there a way to force that behaviour with a makeinfo command line
switch or something of the sort?
