That was my hunch.  Let me work on this, because FreeBSD-10 has an old
version of makeinfo.  This was why I didn't pick up on this error.  So I
need to make sure configure uses /usr/local/bin/makeinfo.

There are also a number of other places where -qt=qt4 is needed.  Being
not knowledgeable about QT, I simply erased that flag.  So I need to
make that fix in lots of places.

Thanks, Stephen
