You would have to set INFOPATH to the list of directories.  I just
implemented the ultimate colon behavior as it's documented for info
standalone.  So, any "::" parts of INFOPATH would be pruned (nil is not
a directory), with the ultimate colon behavior applicable if necessary.  

Of course casing on "^:" or "::" could also be done.

Could be.  I exclusively use GNU emacs on unix-like machines.  So I tend
to say things like ":$" when I really mean (concat path-separator "$").
Or whatever.
