Building UST requires makeinfo/texinfo to build the man pages(?), but
this dependency is not checked by the configure script. Instead it fails
at compilation, with an informative message at least:


[...]/ust/config/missing: line 52: makeinfo: command not found
WARNING: `makeinfo' is missing on your system.  You should only need it
if
          you modified a `.texi' or `.texinfo' file, or any other file
          indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual.  The spurious
          call might also be the consequence of using a buggy `make'
(AIX,
          DU, IRIX).  You might want to install the `Texinfo' package or
          the `GNU make' package.  Grab either from any GNU archive site.


Ideally this should be checked at configure time.
