-: This still leaves the problem of getting djasm.txi converted to an Info 
-: file and being installed into the info/ directory by the build process.

Yes, and this could get complicated.

-: To make this all easier, I suggest either to put djasm.txi into 
-: src/utils, and add an @include to utils.txi.  This should cause djasm's 
-: docs to be part of utils.info.

I've always felt that djasm was (or could be) more than just a `Utility',
which is why I had planned to put it in the `From djdevNNN.zip' section
of the top-level `dir' file (see demo formats below).

But if djasm.txi *is* moved to src/utils/, then I would argue that djasm.y
should be moved as well, and djasm should be given its own home like for
djtar.  But, this breaks the make of djasm.exe in `src/stub/makefile'.

Advice most welcome.
