[tlbuild] makeinfo: unrecognized option '--set'

[Alan BRASLAU]

Hi Martin,

This is the (in)famous makeinfo "bug".
Makeinfo should not be called at all and this arises when the file
times from the source checkout are incorrect.
For an svn checkout, for example, one needs to configure:
  use-commit-times = yes

(The procedure is pretty fragile.)
