It's not actually located there at all. My Texinfo is installed via
Homebrew into "~/.homebrew", hence my "htmlxref.cnf" is at
"~/.homebrew/share/texinfo/htmlxref.cnf". There is no
"/usr/share/texinfo/htmlxref.cnf".
Texinfo doesn't read a single file anyway, but all of these, and
merges them into a single file. For my manual, I use an additional
"htmlxref.cnf" right next to the ".texi" source to add some missing
links.
The Org exporter should take all of these files, and merge them by the
same rules. For system-wide configuration files, it should either try
to get the right prefix out of the "makeinfo" executable in
"exec-path" (as returned by "executable-find"), or take the list of
files from a customization option. The latter is probably easier, and
more predictable to the user.
Implementing this likely amounts to a fair bit of work, which I was
somewhat disappointed to learn that Org doesn't do it already :)
