The first step is to have orgmanual.org generate org.texi. We're not
there yet because there is no 1:1 correspondence between constructs used
in org.texi and Org syntax.

No, it wasn't even compiling when it landed in contrib/. Now, it exports
correctly. The process is slow, though, due to the sheer number of
macros (900+) and some code blocks at the end that can be removed.

Note that orgmanual.org is not maintained so far. A starting point would
be to try to update a small part of the manual and report what is
missing in "ox-texinfo.el".
As a side note, I think we could use some free (i.e., noop in
"ox-texinfo.el") emphasis markers, e.g. "+...+", for additional syntax,
e.g., @key{...}, or @kbd{...}.
