There is an INFOPATH variable, but it's probably not the only thing
you need to alter.  The info reader uses a listing stored in the "dir"
file of each info directory to find the files themselves.  There is no
reliable way of managing these dir files, although some systems
provide a program (e.g. Debian Linux's "install-info", don't know
about others) for updating them when a new file is installed.

The section "Creating and Installing Info Files" in texinfo.info is
helpful.  If you haven't even got texinfo.info, a Google search for
that section heading will turn up the document on the web.
