You might want to do a little more research into using make. Using
environment variables in a makefile is brittle and unreliable. Builds
will fail and succeed depending on the individual developer's
environment. That's bad. It's better to be explicit in build files
(make or otherwise).

I highly recommend http://aegis.sourceforge.net/auug97.pdf (Recursive
Make Considered Harmful). I found it very interesting and
enlightening.
