Disagree. foo.info should always be built, because it goes into `make
dist'. If you want to limit building for non-specific `make', then
make sure that the .info files and such all depend on `make dist', so
the tarball is correctly generated.

Agree with the remarks about not making pdfs, dvis and inhibiting
their installation.
