I don't have an INFOPATH environment variable, but I've seen that,
inside Emacs, the value of the variable `Info-directory-list' is
("c:/emacs/trunk/info/" "c:/emacs/build/info/").

Each of these two directories has a `dir' file.  They are exact copies
from the emacs-trunk repository (with a single `Info' entry).

I thought this issue would have an immediate and trivial solution, but
since (a) it's something more obscure, (b) it's specific to my setup,
and (c) It's unimportant, I don't think it's worth to spend more time
on this.

So, feel free to close this report.

Thanks.
