gpc.inf doesn't work [Was: Installed Alpha 04/20 - Can't link]_(re)

According to Achim Kalwa:

That's because the `dir' file in the info directory doesn't have an
entry about gpc.  You can insert it manually by editing `/usr/info/dir',
e.g. by inserting a line

  * GPC: (gpc).    Informations about the GNU Pascal compiler

In principle we could include an updated `dir' into the GPC distribution,
but this might make other programs barf, so we don't do it.
