I had been thinking all along that the problem with install-info was that the system couldn't use the new binary. Are you saying here that installworld is trying to use the old version of install-info that is installed in the system? Please say it isn't so... If install-info is needed to do installworld, shouldn't it be considered a build tool, with all of the build platform/install platform gymnastics that implies? FWIW, I agree that fixing this will significantly lower the bar for 3.x -> 4.0 upgrades.
