IMO, "To this end" is more abstract, and thus risks losing
continuity.  I personally find nothing wrong with the original wording
(except for the redundant "do", of course), but if clarification is
still desired, my suggestion would be to make it more specific, not
less specific.  For example:

  The @code{makeinfo} program can automatically determine node pointers
  for a hierarchically organized document.  But for @code{makeinfo} to
  be able to do that, each @code{@@node} command should be followed
  immediately by a sectioning command such as @code{@@chapter} [...]
