`install-info' is an executable which is part of Texinfo.  It isn't
included with Emacs.  This is what it does:

,----
|   `install-info' inserts menu entries from an Info file into the
| top-level `dir' file in the Info system (see the previous sections for
| an explanation of how the `dir' file works).  It's most often run as
| part of software installation, or when constructing a `dir' file for
| all manuals on a system.
