Re: automake 1.6.3: install-info always built

Hi Akim,

    your argument holds for `install', 

I see two (independent) differences.  `install' is clearly a
required target in every Makefile.  `install-info', however,

1) is a cygnus invention and never made it into the gnu standards.
   Therefore I don't see that it has to be in every Makefile.

2) An install-info target is useless except in directories which
   actually have either texinfo files or subdirectories.  Therefore, why
   put it everywhere?

I can do the transform thing, it's better than patching every automake
release.  It feels like a kludge, though.

Thanks,
karl
