Hi Uday,
You can find my changes in lp:~ulm/vm/experimental . I've split them
into several commits, so you can pick the ones that you like:

1316 Build system: Use infodir instead of info_dir throughout.

1317 Install ancillary documentation files in docdir only.
      Set default for docdir to be equal to etcdir.

1318 Remove unused and duplicate variable definitions from Makefiles.

1319 Add example.vm to list of documentation files.

1320 Don't install COPYING. The license is included in the Texinfo
      documentation already, which is also used be vm-license.el.
      (Also it's against the policy of most distros to install this file.)

Cheers,
Ulrich
