bug with `texi2dvi -e'

[Werner LEMBERG]

[texinfo 4.8]

This:

  @tex
  \gdef\LE{$\le$}
  @end tex

  @ifnottex
  @macro LE
  <=
  @end macro
  @end ifnottex

  ...

  a @LE{} b

doesn't work with `texi2dvi -e' but works (sort of) without the `-e'
switch.  Reason is texi2dvi's internal `comment.sed' script which
comments out all @ifnottex environments.  This behaviour should be
documented!  Even better, it should be fixed as outlined in a mail
recently sent to the texinfo-pretest list by introducing a new command
@emacro which is the same as @macro with the exception that after
address@hidden FOO' the call @FOO stays unexpanded for `makeinfo -E'.
