I'm not sure if this is a good idea.  It will certainly make the
binary zips larger (.texi files tend to be large), and thus punish the
majority of users who don't print the docs.  IMHO, some of the binary
zips are already too large.

If you don't mind the quality of the printed docs, you could run a
filter program on the .info files to remove the node markers, and then
print the ASCII text that's left.
