I too would like to be able to get the Right Thing to happen with simply "make"; enormous commands in a shell are ugly, especially when there's a long string that ("/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources") repeats throughout. I'm not sure, though, whether doing so will affect things in a peculiar way (perhaps emacs uses these variables already and changing them will break something), but it's worth a try.
