briefly:

install-info [--delete] info-file dir-file

either adds or with --delete removes the entries for info-file from 
dir-file.

if the info file is not properly equiped (it must have the extra
commands I mentioned in previous mail) install-info will exit
with non-zero status and print 

	install-info: no info dir entry in `file.info'

a lot of packages will not have the extra data yet, but its easy to add
and I think it would be worth doing it just to have a ports tree
that installs info-files correctly.  you either modify the texinfo
source or the info file itself, either will do.
