Subject: bug#34201: Make @setfilename optional in Texinfo files

From: Gavin Smith <[email-masked]>

@setfilename should not be required to occur inside Texinfo files, as it 
makes it harder to get them working.

Earlier on this:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2015-09/msg00000.html

Here is a patch.  I added a test which is passing now, but it wasn't 
passing when I first added the test, so am not sure if it is written 
correctly.  I based it on the existing test 
t/txinfo-setfilename-repeated.sh.

It says GPL version 2 in the licence because that's what was in the 
existing tests, although they should probably all be version 3.

ChangeLog entry:

Do not require @setfilename in Texinfo files.

* bin/automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Derive name of info file from 
name of input file if no @setfilename line occurs in the file.
* t/texinfo-no-setfilename.sh: New test.
