The bad news is that there is no good way to fix this immediately. We'll just have to keep living with these weird url's, as we have been for many years already. The good news is that the next release of Texinfo does fix this in the right way, such that cross-manual references will end up going to the real manual, as in http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/etc... I hope that we will make the first pretest for the next Texinfo within a few days, perhaps next week. At that point, it should be feasible to use it to (re)generate HTML, if nothing else. It would also be very helpful testing from my Texinfo-maintainer perspective :). I've been using the development Texinfo to create the HTML for new versions of the GNU Coding Standards and Maintainer Information (and of the latest GNU Hello release), so at least the thing is basically functional. Of course, another (ugly) option is to post-process the generated HTML to change the links. If anyone cares, I can send the scripts I used to do that before the new Texinfo was far enough along.
