automake 1.6.3: install-info always built

[Karl Berry]

In automake 1.6.3, the install-info target has become something phony
and unconditional, i.e., always built.  This breaks Texinfo, which has
to build an actual binary called `install-info'.  The result is that the
binary is relinked on every make.

This target is not a standard GNU target, although I know Cygnus has
always used it.  The workaround below simply omits it.  If this
really has to be in automake at all, then I suggest either:
a) an option to include it; or
b) an option not to include it; or
c) make automake smarter so that the phony install-info is only included
   if it is not otherwise defined.

I reported this for automake 1.6 as well.  Hope it can be resolved for
next time.

Thanks,
karl
