I'm afraid I can't approve this part.

I'd rather keep the bit that looks for `texinfo' in the source tree.
Even though we won't have it in the GCC tree, there's no reason to
prevent some who drops texinfo in the tree to have it used instead of
a possibly older, previously installed version.
WRT INSTALL_INFO, not having it defined in configure is ok, but I'd
rather be able to override it in the `make install' command line, in
case it's not available or the installed one isn't what we expect.
Automake runs some test on install-info before using, because some
platforms have an install-info program that does something else. I
don't recall exactly what the platforms are, but I'm pretty sure they
do exist. I don't think we need to move the tests into GCC, though.
At least not for now.
All the remaining pieces look Ok. Please install.
