  * 	If a port installs info-style documentation in /usr/local/info, it
  * 	should update /usr/local/info/dir so that there's an index to it.
 
 I agree.  But how? ;)
 
 This has been discussed before, and no solution came up.  The closest
 (I think) was the idea to write a utility to add to and delete entries
 from dir safely.  Something that takes arguments like "section name",
 "info file name" and "comment".  (And it created the section if it
 doesn't exist, etc....)

 Well, an AI system would be best. ;-)
 
 However, even the ability to automatically append an entry to the dir file
 would be a big win.  How you cons up the entry is another interesting
 problem.  I suggest you munge together the package name, the name of the
 info file, and pkg/COMMENT.

 p.s. For brownie points, cons up the entry and then grep the dir file so
 you don't create duplicate entries.  For double brownie points, sort the
 index entries alphabetically.
 
 p.p.s. For infinite brownie points, convince rms that info was a mistake
 and that everything should be done with man pages.  ;-)

Now, we have install-info and we are starting to modify the ports with info  
files to use it.  So I close this PR.
