An alternative is to use makeinfo --docbook. This is more work, but more
amenable to quite general postprocessing.
The contents of the Kawa home page:
http://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/index.html
is derived from kawa.texi, translated by makeinfo --docbook,
then fed through xsltproc, using the standard docbook-xsl
stylesheets with some extra kawa-specific rules.
Look for the rules for 'kawa.xml' and 'manual' here:

One non-obvious neat feature: If you open a page in a narrow
window, it switches to single-column mode. The idea is to
better support small screens, like on a cell-phone. (The execution
could do with some polishing - the big initial menu is probably
not desirable on small screens, bt at least it's easy to scroll.)
