I had this neat idea that if you added a bunch of lockers in your
.environment, when you started emacs, you'd be able to look at the
info for them.
So I like the idea that M-x info uses INFOPATH.

I guess my preference would be to hack info.el to use
Info-default-directory-list first, and then append the unique INFOPATH
elements.
