Patch from Karl Berry:
...
- more entries for the dir file
- use @copying so the copyright ends up in the HTML etc. output.
(This is the only really important change.)
- put @contents after the title page, for conventional toc location.
- use @ifnottex to wrap the Top node instead of @ifinfo, for the sake of
HTML output, etc.
