Because I sometimes install programs in my home directory, I use INFOPATH to specify the system directories plus one in my home directory. However, I get into trouble when system directories are added or renamed.
If it were possible to extend the system path, e.g. by prefixing or postfixing the INFOPATH with ":", or by having a flag to info that simply prints out its compiled-in default path, I would be able to avoid this problem. strings /usr/bin/info | grep /usr/local seems to be a way to find this information, but it's hardly reliable!
