Wow, they had a release?  cool!

The time spent on makeinfo, as opposed to lilypond-book, is fairly
minimal.  This would slow down plain old "make", though.

But the biggest concern is that I'm willing to be that our
texi2html.init file will not be compatible with texinfo 4.14.  It
will likely take hours to adjust things for the new system -- and
those adjustements are likely to cause it to fail to build on
texinfo 4.13a versions.
