Ok, thanks, that makes sense. I had a feeling the texinfo/makeinfo 
subthread was a red herring.

I'll uninstall octave and all the, err, unwanted stuff, it forced into 
my installation and keep using matlab instead.

The problem is, if both miktex and tetex are installed on my machine:

If I put miktex in the front of PATH, the configury of some of the 
packages I maintain detects tetex -- but at runtime gets miktex 
executables, and barfs.  This happened in some of the automake testsuites.

If I don't put miktex in the front of my path, then the configury stuff 
is happy (finds tetex, uses tetex), but *I'm* not happy because *I* want 
to call miktex binaries from my cygwin interactive shell.

My solution was to NOT install tetex; thus configury happy (no findee 
tetex) and I'm happy.

But apparently I can't use octave.
