It later occured to me that I don't see a good reason for extended the
Info format with these capabilities -- there is a perfectly fine
format for text with hyperlinks and images called HTML (I hope that
doesn't come as a suprise to anyone) and making a viewer in Emacs for
texi2html converted manuals similar to Info is IMHO a better
solution. Or DocBook?  Hm.
