	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.

This means that on a system which comes with an Info directory
in /usr/info, our packages will by default not install into that
directory.  I think that is somewhat of a problem.  Can we find
a way to solve it?
