d(1) and v(1)

The info pages claim that dir is also installed as d, and that vdir is
also installed as v.  But the 'make install' rules no longer do this.  In
fact, there is another GNU package `d' installed in some distributions
(cygwin includes GNU d 1.2.0), such that coreutils installing dir as
/bin/d would conflict with other packages.  Is it time to remove the
mention of v and d from the coreutils info pages, leaving it up to distros
whether they bundle a dir as d and vdir as v?
