We could just delete it from /usr/local/bin/, in which case
AM_MISSING_PROG will take proper action. ;-)  Changing the macro will
require to write our own macro, since:
if (makeinfo --version) < /dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1; then
   MAKEINFO=makeinfo
   echo "$ac_t""found" 1>&6
else
   MAKEINFO="$missing_dir/missing makeinfo"
   echo "$ac_t""missing" 1>&6
fi

Boy, that *was* rude!   ;-)

PS: BTW, you guys have noticed that we are on ginac-list, haven't you?
    These are two lists: ginac-devel and ginac-list.  Maybe I should
    open ginac-flame soon...
