IWBNI we had a package containing all the Info docs (maybe even
including Emacs core docs -- MacPorts, for example, doesn't install
the lispref).  Then people could install that package and have the
best available information about packages they haven't installed yet.
It would have to be treated specially since it would probably
duplicate docs that other packages want to install.
