No, it's Emacs specific. It is in `user-emacs-directory' (typically
~/.emacs.d). Emacs is moving more and more stuff into `user-emacs-directory'
to avoid spamming the user's home directory and I think octave.el should do
that as well.
See also "** More packages look for ~/.emacs.d/<foo> additionally to
~/.<foo>." in /etc/NEWS and the documentation of `locate-user-emacs-file'.

btw. there should also be a way to fix octave's doc statement in `inferior-
octave'. In the past there was a script "info-emacs-info" which could be used
to call emacs instead of info(1). But it was removed from the octave
distribution a while ago and it depended on the old gnuserv instead of
server.el.
We could either write a new "info-emacs-info". But I don't think the Emacs
maintainers would be happy to ship a script like that if it's only used for
octave.el.
Alternatively we could avoid using such a script if we get a way for server.el
to handle additional command line options (as discussed here
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-09/msg00569.html) and for
"doc" to pass additional options to "info_program()" (I talked about that with
JordiGH and he says such a change would be acceptable).
Any ideas on that?
