I think the Makefile in the current release, and other
5. versions, has a glitch.

If a new user were to download org.tgz and expand it in
a directory other than the one which becomes $(lispdir) in
the Makefile (e.g. ~/otherdir), they would, upon typing make,
encounter:

While compiling toplevel forms in file 
~/otherdir/org-5.10b/org-mouse.el:
   !! File error (("Cannot open load file" "org"))
Done
make: *** [org-mouse.elc] Error 1

This small change seems to resolve the problem:

#BATCH=$(EMACS) -batch -q -eval "(add-to-list (quote load-path) \"$(lispdir)\")"
BATCH=$(EMACS) -batch -q -eval "(add-to-list (quote load-path) \"$(cwd)\")"

This could be confusing to a newbie, who is the most likely
person to encounter this problem.

Anyone already using org appears to be compiling against the older org
already in their lispdir. They would not necessarily encounter a problem or 
notice this glitch.
