Hi Teemu,
If it's useful to choose a different install-info, should it maybe be
a --with-install-info option? When I run your patch (on ubuntu 8) I
get:
checking for install-info... /usr/sbin/install-info
checking for install-info... (cached) /usr/sbin/install-info
checking for install-info... (cached) /usr/sbin/install-info
Which makes me wonder: why are there 3 checks?
I checked ratpoison's automake generated make files and it seems to
use a hardcoded install-info. If it's good enough for automake, isn't
it good enough for us? :)
