Hello,

I have /somehow/ succeeded with these steps:
#1 Drop geq and leq macros from auxmac.texi.
#2 Make sure any macro-reference on a macro using a conditional is on a line of its own. (@classictimes, @semilog, 
@inline*)
#3 Drop "export TEXINPUTS=$(top_builddir):$(srcdir)" from doc/Makefile.am

#1 should be safe to do, the macros are marked with "Required for older versions of makeinfo" anyway.
#3 Seems to be correct.

Regarding #2  the texinfo documentation says "Macros containing a command which must be on a line by itself, such as a conditional, cannot be invoked in the middle of a line." This breaks the formatting, though e.g. changing the input like this
-----------------------------
-@math{width}@classictimes{}@math{height}@tie{}pixels cannot be
+@math{width}
+@classictimes{}
+@math{height}@tie{}pixels cannot be
----------------------------
adds unwanted whitespace in the output:
---------------------------
-an image of widthxheight pixels cannot be
+an image of width xheight pixels cannot be
---------------------------

Title:
  build-error with texinfo 5.1

Status in Enblend:
  New

Bug description:
  Hello,

  documentation generation fails with texinfo 5.1.  texinfo seems to have stopped supporting colons in variable names (@set <-> @value), causing errors like this one:
  -----
  doc/enfuse.texi:564: bad syntax for @value
  -----

  According to texinfo 5.1 documentation basically the only thing
  guaranteed to work are alpha-numericals:

  Subsequent characters, if any, may not be whitespace, ‘@’, braces,
  angle brackets, or any of ‘~`^+|’; other characters, such as ‘%’, may
  work. However, it is best to use only letters and numerals in a flag
  name, not ‘-’ or ‘_’ or others—they will work in some contexts, but
  not all, due to limitations in TeX.
