Compile info patch

[Zachary Goldberg]

I've been checking recently, haven't seen any further discussion on
this patch, or seen it be committed.  Any thoughts on why?  I'm
curious because I think its useful, and because I wrote a WWN article
on it -- which of course only makes sense if the patch is applied :).
