This one can be easily fixed by adding a category argument to the new
directive.

I think we will need changes at least in install-info, since DIR file
will have to be changed, or else an external database will need to be
created.  If we leave DIR as it is now, and rely on the Info reader to
generate the additional nodes/data structures, the startup time will
become slow, and the `man'-style "info strcpy" feature, which assumes
that the reader is launched anew for each query, will be impossible.
