What relevance has the release date of Emacs 20 here?
Backward compatibility.
Eli said
IIRC, the -I switch was supported by makeinfo since day one.
which may be the case. However, the Texinfo manual (version 4.8, 29
December 2004) says
`-I DIR'
Append DIR to the directory search list for finding files that are
included using the address@hidden' command. By default, `makeinfo'
searches only the current directory. If DIR is not given, the
current directory `.' is appended. Note that DIR can actually be
a list of several directories separated by the usual path
separator character (`:' on Unix, `;' on MS-DOS/MS-Windows).
I do not know whether texinfo.tex, which is input with a `\input'
command, is considered an address@hidden' file.
Incidently, the earliest log message for the switch that I see in
emacs/man/Makefile.in is from 6 April 1998:
revision 1.13
date: 1998-04-06 10:33:02 +0000; author: schwab; state: Exp; lines: +18 -17
(ENVADD): Enviroment vars to pass to texi2dvi. Use
it in dvi targets.
(../etc/GNU): Change to $(srcdir) first.
which is after Emacs version 20.2 was released on 19 September 1997
and before Emacs version 20.3 was released on 19 August 1998.
