Kind of. Bug#876 is to do with display of some info pages, not 
generation of them. And as far as I can tell, makeinfo itself outputs 
DOS line ends on Windows, so texinfo does support CRLF, at least on 
Windows. If you view the info pages in Emacs 22 or the standalone info 
reader, does the problem disappear?
