And we have a solution - for package creators - in
http://www.cygwin.com/setup.html#package_contents - which states
"If you have any 'info' documention in your package, run install-info as
part of your post-install script"
Thats what got me annoyed. The solution has been discussed, put into
policy and should not affect any newbies ever again.
This is a better solution than setup.exe special casing info files,
because as described here http://www.cygwin.com/setup.html#postinstall
packages can do any special case installation that make install might
do - without requiring users to grab a new setup.exe to get the correct
behaviour.
