Yes, setting it in the toplevel Makefile.in works as expected, and that
what my patch below does.
Alexandre, okay?

Among others, because we don't want to always depend on unreleased or
the latest version of texinfo. However, I have contacted the texinfo
maintainers, and basically they seem to agree and will change the way
.info files are generated:

I have tested the patch below, and it works, so I plan to commit it to
mainline and the two active release branches.
