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.
