If INFOPATH is set when you start up emacs (emacs 20 at least), it
will override Info-default-directory-list.
It seems that the last INFOPATH entry which is not also duplicated
somewhere else in the INFOPATH will be shown first in the directory
listing, followed by the remaining unique INFOPATH elements, in order.
I think this means one or more of:
(1) We want to hack info.el to ignore INFOPATH, or at least make it
not override Info-default-directory-list
(2) We want to initialize INFOPATH to /usr/athena/info in the global
cshrc
(3) We want to hack add to keep /usr/athena/info always at the end
of INFOPATH
(3) We want to make add not set INFOPATH if it's not already set
