ensure Makefile uses system emacs rather than aliased emacsclient #107

titaniumbones commented 5 years ago

Some users of oh-my-zsh (including @titaniumbones) alias emacs to a shell script that calls emacsclient. It would be ocnvenient if the Makefile distinguished between the executable emacs and the alias, i na shell-neutral way.

The standard way of specifying an alternative emacs binary in make is:

EMACS=my-emacs-snapshot make
