Installation 

install-info 

no complain way 

% install-info --entry=latex2rtf --info-dir=/usr/local/info /usr/local/info/latex2rtf.info

Note, the info entry in Emacs is still wrong. I get in info node:

Miscellaneous
latex2rtf

But it is not click-able.

However,
  info latex2rtf
shows the right result.

% install-info  --info-dir=/usr/local/info /usr/local/info/latex2rtf.info
install-info: warning: no info dir entry in `/usr/local/info/latex2rtf.info'

Q:is latex2rtf able to produce any nice page header/footers? 

Pagestyles

If there is no \pagestyle command, the RTF output is generated as with plain pagestyle, i.e. each page get's its page number centered at the bottom.

You must turn this off with the \pagestyle command in the LaTeX file if you don't want pagenumbers. The headings and myheadings styles are silently ignored by now.

The twosided option to the \documentstyle or \documentclass produces the corresponding RTF tokens.
