So whichever install-info gets chosen (since we cannot know what $PATH is set to) should work. If it is GNU install-info, then the warning message is printed that we actually called a wrapper script that hands off its arguments to ginstall-info. If it is the dpkg install-info, then we get a bunch of verbose output that GNU install-info doesn't produce, but it also results in a working info page. > Does the install-info on other systems really grok the --infodir option? > Isn't it just straight GNU install-info? What am I missing? On Windows you can either have MSys or Cygwin to get install-info. Both really are GNU install-info, so unless there is yet another install-info I don't see why this would not work.
