I finally managed to make it work using INFOPATH, which is quite painful
to do under OS X. I really don't understand why there isn't a way to do
this from inside emacs configuration files (I tried the
Info-additional-directory-list but it did not work).

I guess you changed the plist of Emacs.app?  That's not really required.  How do you install your emacs?

On my machine, with Emacs.app compiled from bzr source, start it with

$ sh -c "unset INFOPATH && Emacs -Q"

In the scratch buffer,

(getenv "INFOPATH")

nil

(add-to-list 'Info-default-directory-list "~/.emacs.d/org-mode/doc")

("~/.emacs.d/org-mode/doc" "/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/info/" "/usr/share/info/")

(info)

nil

Info-directory-list

("~/.emacs.d/org-mode/doc" "/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/info/" "/usr/share/info/")

So the only thing I need to do is changing `Info-default-directory-list' in my ~/.emacs

You might want to check the above procedure and see what you get.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction,

Alan
