Since `Info-revert-find-node' is not the right place to clear
the cache because the same problem can occur after killing
the Info buffer and revisiting the same Info manual manually,
perhaps the right fix would be to check the modtime of the Info file
in `Info-find-file' and clear the cache for modified files.
