This sounds like the system I was using near the end of the old
exporter's life. When Nicolas added asynchronous export to the new
exporter I was able to abandon the Makefile. Lately, I've been tangling
init.el files from my source document. I really like this approach
because the asynchronous exporter starts off with a fresh emacs instance
(the infamous emacs -Q, I think) and you don't have to worry if your
.emacs has an old setting that has some weird effect on export--all of
the setup is in the babel block that generates the init.el file. I like
that the init.el setup travels with the document in the Org mode file. I
think it helps with reproducibility.

All the best,
Tom
