Installation: m4 no longer depends on Texinfo
In a recent build on a macOS, we recognized that Texinfo needs the 'libintl.h' headers of Gettext. However, Gettext depends on M4, and until now we had set M4 to depend on Texinfo. Therefore adding Gettext as a dependency of Texinfo would cause a circular dependency. On the macOS, we temporarily disabled M4's Texinfo dependency, and the build went through. I also checked on my GNU/Linux system: temporarily renamed all Texinfo built files from my system and done a clean build of M4 and it succeeded. To be further safe, I built Maneage from this commit (where M4 doesn't depend on Texinfo) in a Docker container, and it went through with no problems. So the current M4 version indeed doesn't need Texinfo. I think adding Texinfo as a dependency of M4 was a historic issue from the early days. In the process, I also cleaned 'basic.mk' a little: - A "# Level N" comment was added on top of each group of software that can be built in parallel (generally). - GNU Nano was moved to the end of the file (to be "Level 6"). - Some comments were edited in some places.
