This cannot be general, though.
I don't know if TEXINFO_LANGUAGE_DIRECTORIES is necessary, but if so the name is confusing, as you would think it is something to do with human languages like English or French, not the "Texinfo language". I'll have to try to understand how this fits in with the other changes for where configuration files are looked for. I see this variable is not documented anywhere - is this because it is not supposed to be used by the user?
