Hi!

Generating the manual for my project (wdiff) fails:

Generating html by node... (env LANG= LC_MESSAGES= LC_ALL= LANGUAGE=
makeinfo --html -o wdiff.html --split=node     "…/doc/wdiff.texi")
makeinfo: --split-size arg must be numeric, not `node'.
Try `makeinfo --help' for more information.
make: *** [manual] Error 1

Seems makeinfo does not support a --split argument. At least neither my
4.13 release nor the current trunk
http://svn.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/trunk/makeinfo/makeinfo.c?annotate=5179&root=texinfo

I'd say this was introduced by
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/commit/?id=408cb57bc2a6a3d94083db8195fd1e390bad11c6
but unfortunately the commit message "autoupdate" is not particularly
useful in figuring out what the intention was here, or from where this
automatic update might have originated.

Greetings,
 Martin
