That makes perfect sense.  Please see the new patch attached to this

I looked at both ox-texinfo.el and texinfo.el, and I found no function
or variable that would give the installed Texinfo version.

Do we pull the version from "makeinfo --version" and then parse it?  If
so, does that functionality belong to Org (ox-texinfo.el) or Emacs
(texinfo.el) instead?  I also wonder how we could test it so that it
will not break.  I would appreciate any ideas and/or pointers from you.
