i'll investigate further, but
1. i rebuilt xemacs from a CVS update this morning
2. i pressed the I button in the menubar
3. i got a completely empty top info directory
i have debian potato, and hence a system directory (/usr/share/info)
without a dir file, and another one (/usr/info) with a dir file that
references files in the dir-less directory
it's possible, and also probable, that i'm doing something wrong, but
i'd like to hear your suggestions
