Ok.  Could you add a "make test" or "make simple" or something
like that in the texinfo/ dir?  This would create a version of the
texinfo portion of the website which is created with texi2html
*only*.  No imagemagick, no awk, ideally no python either... this
is to be used by windows people who have texi2html working but
nothing else, and still want to write/edit content for the
website.

BTW, buildscripts: wait until 2.12.1 (the first 2.12 release that
people might be happy with :)  is out.

To be fair, texinfo itself doesn't appear to support scaling by a
percentage, only by an absolute number (like 4in or 100pt).

Ok, added.
