Installing info files

["Russ.Shaw" <russell at webaxs dot net>]

I did "make info" and "make install-info" in a newlib build directory,
and it installed various files such as configure.info etc into
/usr/local/info. However, i can't get them to display in the info reader.
Also, i can't find anything such as an INFOPATH environment variable.

Is there another step to make these files known to the info reader?
