It should be $(infodir)/dir, but perhaps install-info should not be
used at all, because it was not included in older versions of info and
some systems (Debian) had different programs with such names. Maybe
it can be added in separate make target which is not tied with
`install' target (e.g. `install-info' target).
Also gzip should not be used automatically, and I don't think it is
necessary as separate target.
