Hello,

The task started by Thomas S. Dye a couple years ago is now complete.
The "manual.org" file in "contrib/" directory is an up-to-d= ate,
sometimes enhanced, version of the Org manual. Org can now eat its own
dog food.

During the process, I had to re-organize some parts of the manual (e.g., "Working with source code" section, the concept index...) and imp= rove
the "texinfo" export back-end, which was not up to the task when = Thomas
started it.

As Thomas mentioned I had o= riginally written the exporter.=C2=A0 I'd done my best
to get= it to work with the majority of the org.texi however there were certain
features that did not seem to be present at the time in Org=C2=A0 (= or at least no
convenient method to simulate them without macros)= .

I haven't had the chance to keep up with the= exporter or the export engine in
general, however I'm glad t= hat the manual now can be entirely written in Org.
That was part = of the motivation behind writing the exporter in the first place.
