one option would be to make the makeinfo stuff into a USE flag so all the perl

it'd be simpler if we just dropped it altogether from @system. if people want
`info`, they can `emerge` it themselves. if packages want `makeinfo`, they
can DEPEND on it -- few fall into this category (<100 by a rough survey of
random Gentoo installs).
obviously my preference is for the latter.

Removing it from @system sounds good. I have no preference as to how
that is handled as long as the info pages are still available to those
that want them.
