But to some extent, we _still_ want INSTALL.UTF-8 output, with the nicer balanced ‘\1’ quoting. That is, we need a way for makeinfo to output UTF-8 quoting from the get-go, rather than outputting plain ASCII text, since if makeinfo is swapped over to outputting '' instead of `' in ASCII text, then we've broken our conversion from INSTALL to INSTALL.UTF-8. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
