Hmmm, rereading this it may have sounded very different than my original
intention and entirely wrong.  `Evil' was meant to have a joking-style
meaning here.

Wojciech is right on the spot when he says that it's annoying as hell to

info pages are in a different package, which isn't installed by
default... ``doh!'' :)
