Bug#484740: some cross references don't work as info search files without .info extension
As a workaround, one can add the .info extension explicitly, e.g.
(from mpfr.texi -- MPFR trunk):
@pxref{Formatted Output Strings,,, gmp.info,GNU MP}.
instead of
@pxref{Formatted Output Strings,,, gmp,GNU MP}.
but when generating HTML and PDF files, the texinfo tools forget
to remove this extension. So, one needs to use @ifinfo (to use
the version with the .info extension) and @ifnotinfo (to use the
version without the extension, or alternatively disable the links,
as these links are often incorrect due to the absence of a search
mechanism for HTML and PDF).
