I think the better idea is to make sure the build system warns you if you're
missing the library and get people to install it.

Subject: [liblouis-liblouisxml] Re: Build broken for liblouis
Hi all
I'm to blame for this. When working on the documentation I noticed that you can
greatly simplify the boilerplate when writing the documentation by making use
of a feature that is only available in texinfo 5.0 and up.
Since version 5.0 of texinfo is almost two years old now and comes with Ubuntu
LTS I thought it was a safe choice.
But then I ran into problems on the Travis CI server which rebuilds liblouis
for every change (https://travis-ci.org/liblouis/liblouis),
since it has the old Ubuntu LTS with texinfo 4.x. So I install texinfo
5.0 as part of the build (see .travis.yml at
https://github.com/liblouis/liblouis/blob/master/.travis.yml).
You could do the same, i.e. install a new texinfo or we could go back to the
old version of the documentation although I really have a hard time getting
excited about that.
Thanks
Christian
