+This is a cgi program that allows you to read the GNU .info files
+installed on a machine with any web browser.  Needs a running web
+server (like apache, in /usr/ports/www).  The quality of the html
+isn't as good as that generated by the texi2html converter (in
+/usr/ports/textproc) but the advantage of this one is that it
+doesn't need access to the .texinfo files which are usually only
+available in the original source archives of the installed programs
+and not installed by default.
+
+The port actually installs three cgis:  gnuinfo, with the search
+path preset to /usr/share/info:/usr/local/info:/usr/X11R6/info,
+and gnuinfo.local as well as gnuinfo.X11R6, with just /usr/local/info
+and /usr/X11R6/info, respectively.  Use these to get at the toplevel
+`dir' files for the other dirs, and to get at info pages for which
+there are different versions with the same name in the different
+directories, like the two gcc.info* you have when you installed
+gcc 2.95.1 (/usr/ports/lang/egcs) in addition to the (less recent)
+system compiler.
