In fact, no. That comes from a copy/paste of what I did with
`Info-default-directory-list'. Useless indeed, but shouldn't matter.

OK, that's clear to me (now) for that one.

I think I did, no!?
The docstring says:
- set `Info-default-directory-list', or
- set INFOPATH environment variable.
As I want to be able to easily use my Emacs in different machines, or
even different OSes, I chose to set the `Info-default-directory-list'
variable (one of the two choices adviced by the docstring), so that
everything is in my `.emacs' configuration file.
However, while I set the order of directories to be:
1. first the Info files from Org mode Git, then
2. from Cygwin tools, then
3. the ones built within Emacs,
I expect to just get that in `Info-directory-list'. It isn't the case.
So, is there a way to put my Info files before the ones from Emacs?
Best regards,
Seb
