[ESS] make problems with latest git

[Ross Boylan]

Attempting to follow the installation instructions I tried to run
make.  It failed because EMACS=t when running a shell inside emacs
24.4.1.

The Makeconf file included by the Makefile in the lisp directory
includes the line
EMACS ?= emacs
which set EMACS = emacs unless it is already set (which it is, to t).

For now, I'll run make in a regular shell.  It would be nice if this
worked inside of emacs, but I'm not sure it's worth fixing.

BTW, make in a regular BASH shell produced lots of warnings and at
least  one error, which seems to have come at the end (or maybe caused
the end?):
