Right. The Debian and GNU implemmentations are similar, but the Debian
one evidently requires a command line option to handle
INFO-DIR-SECTION (at least version 1.9.21, which is Debian's
stable). GNU install-info handles this automatically, albeit less
flexibly.

Two patches: the first adds an infodir entry for the manual to the
slime.texi. The second adds an install-info and an uninstall-info
target, and install and uninstall targets that depend on these
respectively. It has been tested with GNU install-info version 4.7 and
Debian install-info 1.9.21. Slouching towards autoconf, this
introduces a variable, infodir, which probably needs to be configured
by the user.

Note: the manual and the Makefile probably copyright statements and
statements of license. Various scrupulous entities (e.g., Debian)
won't distribute any file whose copyrights and license status is
unspecified.
