Someone will have to do the job, and the non-traditional structure of
info.info makes that a tad harder.

There's also an additional problem for Emacs users: if info.info is
not in Emacs, then new users of Info have no way of learning to use
Info.  So I guess this will have to be some kind of duplication or
something?
