they're logically independent things. one fixes a bug by adding -I paths,
the other is a nice-to-have new feature.

the manual doesn't have that info today about even the makeinfo step.
the existing Texinfo chapter doesn't appear to be well organized, just
a random collection of facts, so i can another paragraph in there.

the -I change isn't relevant to this patch. this one is about letting
people pass extra flags to the tex2dvi/texi2pdf steps like we already
have with the makeinfo steps.
