Richard,

the change you made to info.el to make the links line show up at the top
of the *info* buffer didn't seem to be very popular, and I myself find
it quite useless, since I never ever had to copy this particular line
out of the buffer.

Following Miles Bader's suggestion, I propose the following patch, it
makes the behavior optional, and disabled by default. Does it look
reasonable to you?

Thank you.
