Patch: fixlet for as.texinfo

- Subject: Patch: fixlet for as.texinfo
- Reply-to: tromey at redhat dot com
I needed this to compile as.texinfo on x86 RHL 9. This reverts a
small piece of the previous patch (adding back the @node) and
rearranges the nodes a little to align with the menu again.
Ok to commit?
