Well, that can't be the sense of all that: We have got an ENV variable
INFODIR to be able to easily decide were the files go. But, we have to poke
around in a system file in order to create the appropriate directory
only for the temporary build environment.
What are the objections to point 2.? I think it is rather unimportant
where the INFO Files reside in the temporary build environment. Giving
a warning later when the stuff is installed into its final place, is
IMHO OK if the directory doesn't exist.

BTW: My INFODIR is (has to be) /server/info. Were will I put it? Into
src/etc/mtree/BSD.root.dist?
