The reason I wrapped both the org-export and makeinfo logic in
condition-case is so that the makeinfo logic does not run when the
org-export logic fails. Is there a better way?

We could let-bind a flag like failed-org-export-p, then set it to t in
the condition case handler, then only run makeinfo when
failed-org-export-p is nil. Seems a bit ugly.

The only define-error in org-mode that's relevant to org-export is not
general enough:

(define-error 'org-link-broken "Unable to resolve link; aborting")
