Hi,

Thanks for this patch.  It looks like it improves the behavior from
before, even if it's not perfect.  I will look at incorporating it.

Does the new method cause a failure to find the right info directory in
this case?  If so, is it any worse than the case before?

Do I take it the macos.texi portion of your patch should ONLY be applied
if the other parts are NOT applied, or is that describing a shortcoming
that will still exist with your new code?
