That isn't accurate. --infodir is a holdover from the old days.
Of course the option itself is a holdover. But my understanding is
that by "undocumented difference from autoconf" he's referring to
INFODIR_USER_DEFINED, and the catering to run-in-place and people who
schlep whole installed trees around and other cases that you won't
encounter in an RPM install.
