Oops,
Before this change, the missing script had a twofold role:
- it warned the user if some required maintainer tools was missing,
or too old;
- in such a case, it tried to "fix" the timestamp of the files that
should have been rebuilt by that tool (without actually updating

* syntax-checks.mk (sc_tests_makefile_variable_order): Remove. This
rule checked that all variables definitions were listed before rules
in the automake-generated Makefile.in files; but this invariant is not
guaranteed anymore by Automake-NG, and in fact it will break more and

This should have ideally been part of earlier commit v1.12.1-93-g3c64d54.

well as its capability to generate HTML output, has been supported
since Texinfo 4.0 (according to the Texinfo NEWS file), the

supported since Texinfo 4.1, the requirement 'texi2dvi-o' is
obsolete -- the simpler requirement 'texi2dvi' is enough.

I've improved the commit message and code comments (adding the details
about the Texinfo bug we've spoken about), and pushed. The final,
amended patch is attached, for reference.
