I think the problem is that /usr/info/dir exists, and is blank.  So
when I ask for info:/dir I get:

-----------------------
Info: (dir) Top(dir) Top
 
   This (the Directory node) gives a menu of major topics.
   Typing "q" exits, "?" lists all Info commands, "d" returns here,
   "h" gives a primer for first-timers,
   "mEmacs<Return>" visits the Emacs manual, etc.
 
   In Emacs, you can click mouse button 2 on a menu item or cross reference
   to select it.
 
Menu
automatically generated by  info2html
-----------------------

We should do the same as xemacs.  We should traverse all info paths
and synthesize the menu.  In each info directory on the path there may
or may not be a node called "dir".  If dir exists then use it.
Otherwise generate the listing automatically.  Concatenate all the
listings from all the directories on the path.

BTW, I also have /usr/share/info/dir, and it is *not* blank, but is
being ignored.
