Back on this thread about texi2dvi and cygwin from a couple weeks ago.
2) On cygwin, if both $dir/tex.exe exists and a directory $dir/tex/ exist,
this function misses the existence of tex.exe.
I don't see why the presence of $dir/tex would affect things.
tex.exe would never be found on cygwin with the present code, as I
understand it.
So I added an explicit check for foo.exe, for Cygwin's sake. test -x
will work, right? (If a Unix system has an executable foo.exe in PATH
first, they deserve what they get, IMO.)
I do not want to autoconfiscate texi2dvi, nor do I think it's necessary.
If you feel like testing, you can get the current version from texinfo
cvs at savannah.gnu.org, namely:
http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/*checkout*/texinfo/texinfo/util/texi2dvi?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/plain
