I notice that some of the larger info files, notably gcc & related files 
plus the Cygwin-ug files, are in /usr/share/info as xxx.info.gz files.

Is info (supposed to be) able to handle these directly?  If so, is 
special action appropriate to get them listed in the dir file -- on my 
system they are simply not being seen.
Of course, I can unzip them - but why use up the space if info can do it 
dynamically.
