Perhaps it would be nice to be able to force this behaviour of makeinfo also 
with LFN=Y (maybe with some environment variable)

Also is it really necessary to split info file?

I haven't tested these latest uploads of autoconf-2.13 as I built it similary as 
before and modified manually places that I needed. I used such version
to build newly released automake-1.4 and after fixing one bug in it all tests 
in automake works Ok with LFN=Y. There are still some  failures with LFN=N.
I uploaded both sources and binaries of automake-1.4 and they are already
in v2gnu. Only thing I missed was that they requires autoconf-2.13, so I 
must wait a bit before announcement.
