Bug Description
I was trying to build an updated version of the vm package for Fedora 19, but the build failed. Fedora 19 includes texinfo 5.1, and obviously it is a bit stricter with the syntax than previous versions. More exactly, I got these error messages when trying to format the documentation of vm 8.1.2:
vm.texinfo:786: warning: @end should only appear at a line beginning
vm.texinfo:2345: warning: superfluous arguments for node
vm.texinfo:3333: warning: @vindex should only appear at a line beginning
vm.texinfo:3337: warning: @vindex should only appear at a line beginning
vm.texinfo:999: @ref reference to nonexistent node `maildrop
specification'
vm.texinfo:4591: raising the section level of @unnumberedsubsec which is too low
I also tried to format the documentation of the more current 8.2.0b release, and saw similar problems there.

Hi Goran, were these 'fatal errors', i.e., did they block the info files
from getting made?
Cheers,
