You'll have to get Mike to discuss that. He insists that things be
done as they are, but I've never personally had any reason to care one
way or the other (no personal config problems, no need for the
features he added, and I don't recall ever getting user questions
either).
That isn't accurate. --infodir is a holdover from the old days. When I
re-wrote the path-searching stuff, I didn't tackle any interface issues,
even though oddities such as --infodir certainly bothered me, and I'd
change it in a heartbeat if it was so easy. The path-searching code has
been remarkably resistant to interface changes simply because changing
it would break people's setups.
