Oh, is distributing them unconditionally a special case?  I don't see
any other way if makeinfo is not to be required when building.

With past cvs automake I had a fudge overriding INFO_DEPS, but recent
changes to the way variables are handled have broken that.  I guess a
sub-configure in the subdirectory of interest would work.
