How about customizing `Info-additional-directory-list' without touching
INFOPATH as suggested below?
,----
| Info-default-directory-list is a variable defined in `info.el'.
| Its value is ("/usr/local/share/info/" "/usr/share/info/")
|
| Documentation:
| Default list of directories to search for Info
| documentation files. They are searched in the order they are given in
| the list. Therefore, the directory of Info files that come with Emacs
| normally should come last (so that local files override standard
| ones), unless Emacs is installed into a non-standard directory. In
| the latter case, the directory of Info files that come with Emacs
| should be first in this list.
|
| Once Info is started, the list of directories to search comes from the
| variable `Info-directory-list'. This variable
| `Info-default-directory-list' is used as the default for initializing
| `Info-directory-list' when Info is started, unless the environment
| variable INFOPATH is set.
|
| ,----
| | ,----
| | | Although this is a customizable variable, that is mainly for
| | | technical reasons. Normally, you should either set INFOPATH or
| | | customize `Info-additional-directory-list', rather than changing
| | | this variable.
| | `----
| `----
|
| You can customize this variable.
