Thanks, applied to emacs-24.

(I don't particularly like this 'sed' approach, so if anyone has a
better solution... It's needed because make turns on "entering
directory" messages when called recursively, and there seems to be no
portable way to turn that off. I don't want to rely on, eg assuming that
the info file names end in ".info".)
