A suggestion: when the info files bundled with Emacs cannot be found,
download them from info.gnu.org (after asking the user if they're okay
with that) and install them into ~/.emacs.d/info. The info files that are
supposed to be bundled with Emacs are not that big (about 5 MB, gzipped),
and something similar (downloading data from a gnu.org site and install
them into a ~/.emacs.d subdirectory) happens with M-x list-packages.
