No, I don't remember that ever working. I see that doc.m looks for a
file called doc.info in the directory containing a matching function
file, but nothing based on the package name.

I think that some logic should be put in place to associate an info file
with the pkg metadata, so for example "doc ode78" would be directed to
the info file associated with odepkg.

We could also add support for pkg names at the same time.

I don't know enough about the GUI info browser to know if it supports
browsing multiple info files, or if it would need some work as well.
