Good stuff!

My question about this and your experiences with ox-texinfo, is would it
be possible to integrate this into a workflow where a manual was
converted piece-meal.

So, if a texinfo manual was multi-part (like the Emacs manual for
instance), it could be converted one file at a time, rather than having
to do the whole lot.
