Programs dropping .info-files in the directory for texinfo needs to
register these pages in the texinfo startpage. This can either be
done on a per-package basis with cswclassutils (I already filed
a feature request in cswclassutils) which is also the best solution
or by calling the custom-script from texinfo "mkdirentries" which
walks through all nodes and builds this startpage. As there are
already some (don't know how many) packages using this mechanism
I rather reinstate the old behaviour until all other packages have
been updated.


Best regards
