But why then is there an info search path at all if everything belongs
in /usr/local/info? I think that you are incorrect, and that is
still just a hack, TeX by default has these files here, and it has
been around forever, I either need to fscking recompile with some
sort of compile time arg, or there is a simple elegant way to fix
my problem. Nuff said.
