It doesn't really make sense to me, as I though that C/convert/texinfo.c
would be the analogue of perl/Texinfo/Convert/Texinfo.pm for converting
to the Texinfo format, but I don't mind as long as I haven't inadvertently
introduced an error into the code with my changes by failing to update
all the C code correctly.
