Subject: 30.0.50; package-vc can't build info file on windows/MSYS2
Date: Thu, 1 Dec 2022 23:01:34 +0800

To build info file one need makeinfo executable, on windows the makeinfo
from MSYS2 is a perl script, therefore not recognized as executable. When
trying to build info files `package-vc--build-documentation' will throw a
"Permission Denied" error.

There are makeinfo.exe provide by MinGW/MSYS/GnuWin project, but those
binaries haven't got a update since 2010...I suggest modify
`package-vc--build-documentation` a bit so that when makeinfo is in the
PATH but not a executatble, run (call-process "perl" nil t
nil "makeinfo"...) instead.
