TeX is happy to pick up such files from the current directory. Why
would it be a problem? If that doesn't work or the BBDB includes are
shadowed, TEXINPUTS=.:$TEXINPUTS should do the trick. man kpathsea
for more information about telling TeX where to find stuff.
But mostly people are going to do such formatting in a proper source
tree. Not your problem. The GPL (maybe, but certainly FLOSS
courtesy) requires that you provide a "script" (ie, Makefile) to
rebuild if people want to modify in-place, but for the info files that
can be as simple as
bbdb.info: bbdb.texi
makeinfo bbdb.texi
bbdb.html: bbdb.texi
makeinfo --html bbdb.texi
bbdb.pdf: bbdb.texi <style files ...>
makeinfo --pdf bbdb.texi
At least, I should think so. If you normally use @setfilename to put
the info etc someplace other than the current directory, use the -o
option to put it in the current directory.
