Uhm. Really? What about systems that dont have/dont want/dont use
"info", whatever the heck that is? Plain text is universal. Anything
else is not.
(Find me a unix system without cat and more installed, or a unix admin
that knows how to use info, but not cat and more.)
I would *always* install the plain text documentation, and make any
other formats optional/extra.
