I used Mathias Michaelis' utility to download and install the GnuWin32 pkgs. Worked great. His readme file describes a problem with with the "info" commmand, and that it is necessary to get the texinfo v4.2 pkg due to bugs in later pkgs. I have the problem exactly as described, but I have no idea where to get texinfo 4.2. Where can I get it?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
and start the exe-file, a GetGnuWin32 folder is extracted. In this folder there is a subdirectory cygwin_addons, where you can find an info.exe and some dll's that works. You can find there also a readme.txt file that explains where you can retrieve the whole texinfo package from: It's from a cygwin mirror.
Alas, as I see now, the texinfo 4.2 package seems to be too old. It's difficult to find the needed packages. Try

Hi WinterSnorkeler
If you download getgnuwin32 from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=163416
and start the exe-file, a GetGnuWin32 folder is extracted. In this folder there is a subdirectory cygwin_addons, where you can find an info.exe and some dll's that works. You can find there also a readme.txt file that explains where you can retrieve the whole texinfo package from: It's from a cygwin mirror.
Alas, as I see now, the texinfo 4.2 package seems to be too old. It's difficult to find the needed packages. Try
ftp://ftp.ccp14.ac.uk/ccp14/ftp-mirror/programming/cygwin/pub/cygwin/release/texinfo/texinfo-4.2-4.tar.bz2
ftp://ftp.esat.net/mirrors/.1/ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/distfiles/cygwin/cygwin-1.5.12-1.tar.bz2
http://cygwin.paracoda.com/release/libiconv/libiconv2/libiconv2-1.9.2-1.tar.bz2
Or send your email adress to michaelis@users.sourceforge.net and I will send you these packages.
With kind regards
Mathias
