It seems that we have to arrange the Info path additionally.  I need
this piece of code in my init.el:
(with-eval-after-load 'info
  (add-to-list 'Info-additional-directory-list
               "~/repo/auctex/auctex/doc/"))

In addition, if we "make" auctex-autoloads.el with Emacs<29, 
>   (load "~/development/auctex/auctex-autoloads.el" nil t t)
fails to load tex-site.el because that auctex-autoloads.el lacks
the arrangement for `load-path'.

Maybe we should in GNUmakefile cater for only Emacs>=29 and simplify
AUTOLOAD:
