elisp: guix-help: Add guix-info-path and emacs-guix-info-path. #9

guix-info-path and emacs-guix-info-path must be nil by default.

Sorry, I don't understand why this is needed. If you want to add some extra info paths, wouldn't it be better to do it "globally" for Emacs. For example, I do it like this:

(with-eval-after-load 'info
  (info-initialize)
  (setq Info-directory-list
        (append (list "/path/to/emacs-guix/doc"
                      "/path/to/guix/doc"
                      ;;...
                      )
                Info-directory-list)))

Thus you will get the according info nodes in M-x info, etc.

Apologies for this. Didn't think about Info-directory-list variable.

For example, I do it like this:

(with-eval-after-load 'info
  (info-initialize)
  (setq Info-directory-list
        (append (list "/path/to/emacs-guix/doc"
                      "/path/to/guix/doc"
                      ;;...
                      )
                Info-directory-list)))

Thus you will get the according info nodes in M-x info, etc.
