Actually, one way to achieve the effect that I want is to have the
info file copied into the place where the fasls end up (because then
*LOAD-PATHNAME* points to the place where the info file is found, just
as it is when the index.lisp is loaded via LOAD).

I suppose I could create a class that has the effect of copying the
info files without any other operation on them?
