Many Unix programs use some default directory if nothing else is
specified. The default directory is normally compiled into the
binary. Only if the environment variable is set, is a different
directory used.
This is the case for `info'. If $INFOPATH is not set, the compiled-in
default fires. Might be /usr/info, or /usr/share/info, or
/usr/local/info, or whatever, depending on the installation.

I think it's best to create a `dir' file in $HOME/bbdb-2.2/texinfo.
cd $HOME/bbdb-2.2/texinfo
install-info --info-dir=. bbdb.info

Be indiscrete. Do it continuously.
