Re: The texinfo used by GSL

["Brian Gough" <bjg@sourceware.cygnus.com>]

Plan A is to convert the documentation to Docbook and generate standard
texinfo from that, making the modified texinfo unnecessary.  

After writing the equation handling code for texinfo I decided that it had
been the wrong way to do things, since texinfo is complicated (particularly
the texinfo.tex file, where there are many subtleties involving fonts).
