(\readauxfile): Leave \catcode`\^ as other;
* texinfo.tex (\readauxfile): Leave \catcode`\^ as other; otherwise, node names containing ^, such as in info/info.texi, cause an error when run through TeX. (\setq): Do not call \auxhat. (\auxhat): Definition no longer needed. Reported by Howard Gayle <howard@hal.com>.

+ % It was suggested to define this as 7, which would allow ^^e4 etc.

+ % argument, and \hat is not an expandable control sequence. It could
+ % all be worked out, but why? Either we support ^^ or we don't.
+ %
+ % The other change necessary for this was to define \auxhat:
+ % \def\auxhat{\def^{'hat }}% extra space so ok if followed by letter
+ % and then to call \auxhat in \setq.
