Something is wrong.. The "com_err.info.gz not found" was what the second
last commit (rev 1.33) was supposed to fix. The "zero length result" change
(rev 1.34) was in cases where texinfo files fail to build but make thinks
that they did. It was rev 1.32 (by "wosch") that caused the first
breakage that I can see. As far as I can tell, the breakage was not
detected because either because of the brokenness in -current, or because
it was tested with "NOINFOCOMPRESS" active. Please check what version you
have in /usr/share/mk/bsd.info.mk.

No.. .info* includes the .info.new temporaries.

"support" is not exactly what I'd call it. There is zero support for it
and it requires quite a bit of work to do it. Since makeinfo doesn't have
any way of notifying which (if any) extra .info-1 etc files are created (if
any) so that installing them and cleaning them requires wildcard expansion.

That's easily fixed...
