Summary: some latex reject the pdfinfo  macro while generating html

Initial Comment:
I was building the documentation on OSX. I use the latest LaTeX 
2004 from Wierda's teTeX. There is a pdfinfo command in Doc/
texinputs/manual.cls and Doc/texinputs/howto.cls which chokes my 
version of latex.

edited log follows:
