The `i' (bbdb-info) does not use the Info-(default)-directory-list.
Instead it uses the obsolete Info-directory variable. This is
expanded with bbdb-info-file. But I don't want to "manually" make an
Info-directory entry for my bbdb file. Nor do I want to indicate the
bbdb file name as it might be compressed and end in .gz.
BTW. There is no problem finding the (compressed) info file when I
enter the info system.
Versions: FSF emacs-19.28 and bbdb 1.50
