INFOPATH in OS X application bundle

There's a bit of code in src/mac.c which sets the environment variable INFOPATH if it's not already set, when Emacs is installed as a self-contained application bundle.

Normally, Info-directory-list should be initialised based on Info-default-directory-list. But because INFOPATH gets set behind the user's back, this does not happen, and so Info-directory-list is set based on INFOPATH. This is unexpected and confusing behaviour (at least it was for me).

Would it be better to add the bundle's Info directory to Info-default-directory-list, instead of playing around with INFOPATH? Isn't this the sort of thing that Info-default-directory-list is designed for?
