Achim's patch is different from mine (which might very well be wrong: I
was trying to divine what is happening without access to a system that
runs Debian or Slackware). I applied Achim's patch and it works on my
Ubuntu system (I get the same warning that this is GNU install-info, not
dpkg install-info that Jude gets, which is fine - if that's all that's
different, then we can document that).

However, I don't understand how changing the command affects other
systems: in particular OS X and/or Windows (as well as other Linux
distros and other Unixes), so I will plead "nolo contendere" here, but I
wouldn't apply it until people on those systems test it and report
success.

My worry is this: before Achim's patch, the "other" systems run the
following command:

	$(INSTALL_INFO) --info-file=$(INFOFILES) --info-dir=$(infodir)

I presume without trouble. After his patch, they run

	$(INSTALL_INFO) --infodir=$(infodir) $(INFOFILES)

Does the install-info on other systems really grok the --infodir option?
Isn't it just straight GNU install-info? What am I missing?
