Feature request: INFOKEY_FILE environment variable

Greetings,

For the info program, it would be useful to have some "INFOKEY_FILE" 
environment variable that
behaves similar to the '--init-file` option, so the configuration is read when 
info is
launched from environments in which argv cannot be supplied or modified; for 
example, when
other programs exec info using functions from the exec family. Because I prefer 
to keep my home directly
clean by putting config in "$HOME/.config", having a way to set the file 
manually (just
like $MOST_INITFILE, $INPUTRC, $SCREENRC, etc.), really helps. I really don't 
care what the
env var is named - just that it works. Thoughts?

Regards,
Edwin
