This is a side effect of the fact that I switched to cygport for packaging when 
I took over as texinfo maintainer.  cygport (correctly) detected perl as a 
dependency because texinfo provides perl scripts.  In fact, the most important 
program in texinfo is /usr/bin/makeinfo, which is a symlink to a perl script.

I'll wait for guidance from above before doing anything about this.
