Re: [O] [org-e-texinfo] generate menu items

Aloha Jon,

Thanks very much for these changes, which appear to work nicely with the
draft Org manual.

What do you think about the various macro commands defined in org.texi?
How to put them in the Org file and then get them into the texinfo
output? The org.texi file has them between @finalout and @copying. I
don't know if they have to be there, but I assume they were put there
for a reason.

All the best,
Tom
