[Groff] default directory for info files |

A longer time ago it has been discussed where to install info files by
default. I've just seen the following in the NEWS file of the
autoconf CVS:
** Directory variables adjusted to recent changes in the GNU Coding
Standards. The following directory variables are new:
datarootdir read-only architecture-independent data root [PREFIX/share]
localedir locale-specific message catalogs [DATAROOTDIR/locale]
docdir documentation root [DATAROOTDIR/doc/PACKAGE]
htmldir html documentation [DOCDIR]
dvidir dvi documentation [DOCDIR]
pdfdir pdf documentation [DOCDIR]
psdir ps documentation [DOCDIR]
The following variables have new default values:
datadir read-only architecture-independent data [DATAROOTDIR]
infodir info documentation [DATAROOTDIR/info]
mandir man documentation [DATAROOTDIR/man]
This means that if you use any of address@hidden@', address@hidden@', or
address@hidden@' in a file, you will have to ensure `${datarootdir}' is
defined in this file.
I won't change the groff directories right now, but the release after
1.19.2 will use those new locations.
