I wonder why they were in the old setup.hint, but OTOH, do all those other packages really need texinfo at *runtime*? autoconf2.5, automake1.10, automake1.4, automake1.5, automake1.6, automake1.7, automake1.8, automake1.9, cygwin-doc, gettext-devel, libtool1.5, octave, _update-info-dir
It does indeed need libiconv and libintl, but it currently links them statically. I'll investigate that a bit further and either convince it to use the shared ones or correct the setup.hint.
