Does the upgrade include image libraries?

Emacs checks for the environment variables MANPATH and INFOPATH and uses
them if set. On Windows Emacs honors such variables if set in the
registry in Software/Gnu/Emacs, see (info "(emacs)MS-Windows Registry").
(I'm not sure if this is true for all such variables.)
One can also set the variables `woman-manpath' and
`Info-directory-list'.
I'm not sure if one really wants to go through the pain of configuring
the respective variables during installation of TeX Live. Perhaps it
would be easier and more intuitive for a Windows user if opening a man
or info file from the Windows Explorer opened the respective viewer,
i.e. Emacs if there is no other. But I haven't checked if this works or
could be made to work.
