How? 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
