IMHO, an _installed_ org mode should never heuristically search any
support files -- the location should either be recorded into
org-install.el as a constant or made configurable as a defcustom,
whichever is more appropriate.

Jambunathan will have to answer that, but a defvar seems the wrong
solution to this problem. Also site-start should probably not be
(mis-)used to configure the behaviour of packages that the user may not
actually use. Making use of variables set in the Makefile is possible,
but I would not recommend to do this in any other file except
org-install.el.
