What is the intended meaning of Info-urls?  What is the criterion for
what to include, and what is the reason for choosing that criterion?

I ask becaise Gawk is a GNU package.  It is reasonable, as a matter of
general principle, for Emacs to refer people to GAWK and its
documentation.

Whether it is useful to do so _in this specific case_, I don't have an
opinion about, because I don't know ebough about this specific case.
