I need it to recognise that /dev/stdin may be the same file as "gmp",
so that `gunzip < foo.info.gz | install-info ... /dev/stdin' works.
I think it should never check the input file name.  The name of the
entry is given in the args or in the file, and it's reasonable for the
input file name to be different if the file isn't installed.  Perhaps
install-info was only intended for use with installed files?  Then the
check makes sense, but the lack of gunzip support is still inconvenient.
