We got a response from Karl Berry, but he did not respond to our
mailing list. ;-(

I agree, but I'm not going to have a chance to do this any time soon.
If you or someone else can send me text, I'll be happy to include it, of
course.

By the way, any such patch should be relative to the --help message, not
the man page.  The man page is generated with help2man.

Another possibility is to add more documentation about install-info to
texinfo.txi.  Currently it is effectively the same as the --help
message.

Are you willing to contribute and generate some examples you'd like to
see in the man page?

Thanks,
  Hilmar
