You need to install the info-emacs-info shell script somewhere in
Octave's EXEC_PATH.  If you install Octave 2.0.9 from sources, this
should have already happened but it seems that I forgot about them
when building the binary distributions (should be fixed for 2.0.10).
In any case, info-emacs-info and info-emacs-octave-help may both be
found in the examples subdirectory in the source and binary
distributions.
