The case I'm thinking of is installation from source, without using a
package manager, on GNU/Hurd. In that case, the user would run "make
install", and if the work of things like install-info is already being
done by translators, then I only hope that those commands won't give
any errors.
The work of install-info would be done by translators when a package
gets installed through the /packages mechanism.
When you run `make install', that's a different case. There are two
ways we could handle that case.
1. Handle it the same way we do on GNU/Linux.
2. You have to run `make install' in a special environment which
actually constructs a binary in a directory under /packages.
Otherwise it gives you errors saying that you can't write those
directories.
