  Well, it looks roughly right to me now I've worked around my autotools
problems, but I couldn't judge whether this should be done by overriding
install-auto-am in the (several) local Makefile.am sources, or whether it
would best be done with a patch to the automake texinfos.am; if so, I presume
I'd have to make it conditional in some fashion so that it retains unchanged
backward-compatible behaviour in the default case.

  LOL :) Not quite sure how I managed to get that there, but I'm fairly sure I
don't want to install my info files into the manpage dir!  Will try the
obvious fix now.
