I would like to be able to read info files for packages that have not
been installed by the administrators.  I don't have rights to the
directory node.  Can I create a (modified) private directory node, and
point the info reader to this?  Any help would be much appreciated.
(FAQ tells how to install new info files if you can modify the dir,
as does the texinfo tree.  I don't think this is in FAQ; if it is,
appolagies in advance :-)
