IIRC GNU standards require the info files to be part of the source
distribution, so we have to build them in srcdir. However, this does
cause the usual read-only-srcdir problems. Normally, the info files
in cvs should be sufficiently up-to-date such that rebuilding is not
normally required.
This has been discussed in other projects, with no really good
solution.
