>Environment:

make reinstall on 2.2-RELENG from alpha days.  Trying to reinstall over
nfs. 

>Description:

reinstall does not install install-info before trying to use it.

install -c -o bin -g bin -m 444   libg++.a /usr/lib
install -c -o bin -g bin -m 444   libg++_p.a /usr/lib
install -c -o bin -g bin -m 444     libg++.so.4.0  /usr/lib
===> gnu/lib/libg++/doc
install-info --defsection="Gcc Documentation"  --defentry="* G++FAQ: (g++FAQ). The GNU G++ FAQ."  g++FAQ.info /usr/share/info/dir
install-info: not found
*** Error code 1

>How-To-Repeat:

make reinstall on machine which is old enough to not to have install-info

>Fix:
	
Workaround is to copy install-info to the target's /usr/bin before
reinstalling.

Fix is probably trivial for someone who knows where to put it :-)
