Errr, that's harder due to the fact that I'd have to test for the 
presence of perl and a properly installed texinfo package. The way
I proposed in what the octave distributions do themselves, and so
I'd be happy with this way. Also I install the texinfo file, so that
online help is available from within octave itself. If the file is
not built or not part of the distribution, then this online help
won't be available.....

In any case I checked in the change that includes the postscript and
texinfo help files as part of the distribution. If you really think its
a bad idea given the above, I'll have to rethink what to do...

David
