makepkg patch to generate -info packages

Hi,

after reading this thread started by a friend of mine about info pages, I thought it would be useful to have an option in makepkg to generate -info packages (like for example gcc-info) automatically, so I wrote a patch to do this.

To activate this option you also need to add the infopkg option in /etc/makepkg.conf, like this for example:

OPTIONS=(strip !docs libtool emptydirs infopkg)

If you want to do it only for one specific package, you can also add this line to the PKGBUILD:

options=('infopkg')

Here's the patch, for those who want to try it.
