   (info "(texinfo) @pagesizes") says:

         To make more elaborate changes, such as changing any of the page
      margins, you must define a new command in 'texinfo.tex' or
      'texinfo.cnf'.

   Mention a workaround:

Mention a workaround for what exactly?  If you need to do extensive
changes to how Texinfo works you need to modify texinfo.tex or
texinfo.cnf, its that simple.

   Before:
   $ perl -wle 'for(1..2){print "ABC " x 33, "\n";}'|makeinfo --plaintext
   ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC
   ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC

      ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC
   ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC

   After:
   $ perl -wle 'for(1..2){print "ABC " x 33, "\n";}'|makeinfo --plaintext 
--fill-column=69|sed 's/^/   /'
      ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC
      ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC
