Summary: build info docs from tex sources

Initial Comment:
This patch adds Milan Zamazals conversion script and 
modifies the mkinfo script to build the info doc files 
from the latex sources. Currently, the mac, doc and 
inst tex files are not handled.

For the record, here's the specific errors I get when using
XEmacs with this patch on the current release22-maint branch
(hopefully SF won't munge them too badly):

I'll add a note here just in case:  This patch applies to
the 2.3 development as well as 2.2 maintenance tree.

This still seems to suffer the problems that all versions of
this conversion have suffered; it isn't portable between FSF
Emacs and XEmacs.  I'll see about installing FSF Emacs to
see if it'll work for me there.
