    If we use $(datadir)/info, that will normally be
    /usr/local/share/info.

    Is that good?

In my opinion: Yes.  As I said, I strongly feel that $(infodir) should
depend on $(prefix) (via $(datadir) or $(datarootdir) or whatever), just
like everything else.  Not be hardwired to /usr/something.  I see many
disadvantages to hardwiring into /usr, and no advantages, as I discussed
in my last message.

Thanks,
karl
