Compare this with the compilation rule for doc2html in 
config/makefile.mgw.  You're missing modules version and xref in the link.

Then you're probably in for a rough ride.    With a little coercion, it 
should be possible to convince doc2texi to keep HTML fragments in the 
output, enclosed in @ifhtml for makeinfo, so they end up in the 
generated html.

It is.  Makeinfo has the option --no-headers for that.
