managing multiple dir files

[Tyler Smith]

Hi,

I'm using Emacs 22.1.1 built from sources, running Debian Lenny. I
have several different dir files, and they get concatenated together
when I try to browse the info tree. I don't know how this happens, but
it's handy as it gives me access to info files in a variety of
locations. However, I also get many duplicated entries. Is there a way
to clean this up?

My dir files are:

/home/tyler/dl_src/emacs22/emacs-22.1/info/dir
/home/tyler/dl_src/emacs22/ess-svn/doc/info/dir
/home/tyler/gnus/gnus-5.10.6-0.CVS.20050317.orig/texi/dir
/home/tyler/gnus/gnus-5.10.6-0.CVS.20050317/texi/dir
/usr/local/info/dir
/usr/local/share/info/dir
/usr/share/info/dir

There's a fair bit of overlap in the last three. Any tips on how to
manage a combination of hand-rolled and debian-installed info files
would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Tyler
