Hi,
I use NTEmacs with Cygwin, and something like this in my ~/.emacs.
    (setq Info-directory-list (list (expand-file-name "../info" 
data-directory) "c:/cygwin/usr/share/info"))
Then the Info Directory Node lists some duplicated items.

I did bellow patch to fix this. (You know, I am not a good Lisp programmer.)
