Hmmm.... 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.
