My goal at this point is to export a document that matches org.texi. My problem is not with the macro definitions, which can be wrapped as you point out. It is with their placement in org.texi between @finalout and @copying. IIUC, this should happen around line 670 of org-e-texinfo.el, but the code seems to expect that there are two blank lines between these commands and no macro definitions or other material. In view of my goal, it would be nice to have something like #+TEXINFO_POST_HEADER that would pass the macro definitions through to this location in the texinfo document.
