You may just want to pull down texinfo and build it yourself. It does work
for me, and I'm surprised that it's not working with your setup even with
INFOPATH or --directory option!

The only gotcha in building it, if I remember correctly, is that you may
need to get termcap.h, which was left out of Cygwin b20.1. The termcap
library itself is part of the distribution, so that part is ok.

I'll investigate when I get some time.
