Shared library *only* (it *either* support static *xor* shared... I
opted for the latter)
As usual the source package contains my cryptographic signature on patch
and script and original package signature on original package.

This is because the new generic-build-script deletes
${instdir}${prefix}/share/info/dir
not
${instdir}${prefix}/info/dir
I will update the gbs to remove both.
But....
BTW, what's the story with info files? I've been quietly moving mine
into /usr/share/info (which means that the dir entries might not be
created on new install; leftover entries in /usr/info/dir WILL work --
see below) But, it *would* be nice to support both /usr/info and
/usr/share/info during the transition.
There is going to be a transition, right?
See

I've run that script, creating two (different!) dir files in
/usr/share/info and /usr/info.
My INFOPATH contains /usr/local/info:/usr/share/info:/usr/info
The /usr/info/dir contains an entry for enscript; /usr/share/info/dir
does not.
The /usr/share/info/dir contains an entry for autoconf; /usr/info/dir
does not.
'info autoconf' works as expected
'info enscript' works as expected
AND 'info' shows a top-level menu that contains BOTH autoconf and enscript.
--> conclusion, 'info' can handle multiple dir files. (For that matter,
so can 'pinfo'; it behaves the same in all respects.)
Also, if I only have ONE dir file (in either directory) which contains
all entries for both directories, as long as my INFOPATH contains both
dirs everything works peachy, too.
