Let me know if I understand correctly: that's because you don't want
default.mk to contain a manually inserted ORGVERSION variable, right?

Otherwise I don't see the problem with having a fallback ORGVERSION
variable in default.mk (which I'll happily insert manually, to have a 
taste of the Good Old Days, when (defconst org-version "...") was
still in org.el... :)
