Actually, I'd prefer to leave USE_GTEXINFO where it is; it can just evaluate
to null if /usr/bin/install-info and /usr/bin/makeinfo exist.

install-info is supposed to DTRT automatically. I can make it look in
/usr/pkg too, of course, as a fallback for systems upgrading to 1.4. I
don't think /usr/X11R6 has an Info directory (I think the directory nodes
are put in /usr/pkg/info/dir by install-info, but can someone correct me if
not?).

: for individual packages.
No real arguments here; that's fine with me.
