No attempt is made in the existing src/cl-info to do anything with
external format, so to the extent that it works at all, it must be
handled by the Lisp implementation (i.e. inspecting the environment
variables and decoding stuff accordingly).
By the way, for each language there are 2 sets of info files, one for
UTF-8 and one for ... well, not UTF-8. So in different locales,
different files are read. Just wanted to mention that.
