1. I don't get this non dependency point. If texinfo is not installed,
   how can I access them easily, i.e., with an index and all? As an
   Emacs user I'm trifled by this...

2. declaring all the files having .info suffix as part of cswtexinfo
   class is a little bit coarse grained: e.g., gdb has 10 such
   components and they all declare the same INFO-DIR-ENTRY which rises a
   warning during the removal of the package for each such component,
   e.g.:

   install-info: warning: no entries found for
   `/opt/csw/share/info/gdbint.info-1'

   This is a minor issue but can be annoying.
