I'm saying that manuals that don't have any executables will be in
trouble. If 'texinfo' and 'elisp' and 'org' do not worry you, think
about 'standards.info' and its ilk.
In any case, it makes little sense to me to complicate the
installation of binaries and their upgrade, and make your PATH longer,
just to arrive at a solution we can already have -- separating just
the manuals and having the corresponding directories on INFOPATH.
