Title: Canonicalize the info path file name for Windows.

The msys install-info incorrectly parsed the path to info file. The problem occured because each path was a mix of forward slashes and colons, e.g. `C:/Users/joe` instead of back slashes and colons, like `C:\Users\joe`. Msys install info would cut off the `c:` and subsequently fail to find the info file. An example backtrace from my system is below.

The fix is to canonicalize the paths by using the elisp function [`convert-standard-filename` ](http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Standard-File-Names.html) which does exactly that.

```
