   By tradition, Gnulib never installs anything.  Perhaps that
   tradition should change but it should be a conscious change,
   presumably one supported by the infrastructure.

Gnulib is always changing, so installing gnulib.info guarantees
that it becomes obsolete on the next update.

Personally, i symlinked gnulib.info to $(infodir) and then did
install-info on it (which just updates $(infodir)/dir, contrary
to what its name might have you believe).

That way, the info system has access to gnulib.info, w/o it
actually being installed.
