That page isn't very helpful since it doesn't give the non-deprecated way 
to achieve each part of the effect of "cygnus", if still desired (I think 
avoiding info documentation being built in the source directory, so that 
builds could use a non-writable source directory, may have been one part).  
Is there better transition documentation somewhere?
