We used to (because of a bug in the rules file, AFAIK) not include
dir-add.info in the Texinfo index.
Since I fixed it two people have complained that they don't link having
the index in the top texinfo menu. Want to see it? Just type 'info'
and page down a bit.
After thinking about it, I suppose they're probably right. We should
find something else to do with dir-add.info than add it to this list.
