There might be an inconsistency in the install process. Well, on my
debian system.

In the Makefile we have

,----
| # Where local software is found
| prefix=/usr/local
| 
| # Where local lisp files go.
| lispdir = $(prefix)/share/emacs/site-lisp
| 
| # Where info files go.
| infodir = $(prefix)/info
`----

Now I dont pretend to even begin to understand how the info system works
but a "sudo make install-info" does not work because (a) it puts the
file into /usr/local/info and my system appears to expect it in
/usr/local/share/info. In addition the install info command appears to
be broken:

,----
| if [ ! -d /usr/local/info ]; then mkdir -p /usr/local/info; else true; fi ;
| cp -p doc/org /usr/local/info
| install-info --info-file=doc/org --info-dir=/usr/local/info
| Usage: install-info [<options> ...] [--] <filename>
`----

Hopefully someone can shed some light. I think it used to work but am
not sure if I was picking up a local info file before.
