'info /sw/lib/gcc4.5/info/gcc' or some similar command. Just like he
would need 'info /sw/share/info/gcc-fsf-4.5'. I didn't change the
"unversioned" names (symlinks) in /sw/share/info, so installing the
gcc4.5 package (which contains them) would still allow 'info gcc' to
give the self-consistent ones for gcc4.5.
