I must respectfully disagree.  /usr/src/Makefile has two properties I
don't want to screw up here, both of which would be casualties of this
change:

	1. The SUBDIR list is in alphabetical order, making it easy to
	   find out if something has been omitted or not.

	2. The subdirs listed are all top level dirs in /usr/src.  If I
	   were to add share/info to the list, it would get traversed
	   *twice* - once at the beginning and once again during share
	   (and your change doesn't respect NOSHARE, as the subsequent
	   reference does).

That's what I meant when I said that the proposed cure was worse than
the disease.  I don't want to needlessly obfuscate /usr/src/Makefile
when bsd.info.mk, which is far closer to the root of the problem,
could simply be extended to deal with it.
