I always work in a terminal so I wouldn't notice the missing images, but
anyway I always assumed our info install was broken.

I never knew about the install-info make target. Right now, if I run
`make install', when it completes it will print a message with the
install-info command I need to run. Something like this:

install-info --info-dir=~/.local/share/info 
~/.local/share/info/lilypond-web.info

Running that always fails because the lilypond-web.info file doesn't
exist. So I wrote some hack of a script that generates a dir file and
just uses that directory. It would be nice not to have to do that.
