It should still be possible, with the right hack (which is tested in the
testsuite, and required by other packages anyway). The baseline is: if
you don't want your '.info' files to be distributed, then it should be
easily possible to have them built in the builddir; but if you want them
distributed, they will be built in the srcdir. The rationale to do so is
to ensure that, in both cases, the developer's tree layout (as bootstrapped
from a VCS checkout) will match the user's tree layout (as obtained from a
distribution tarball).

Weird, I didn't expect that hack to be documented in the manual... And in
fact I cannot find it. Could you please point me to it? Thanks.

Well, better safe than sorry :-)
