What I meant was:
If GNU make is required it needs to be documented.
Separately from that, the makefiles look much more complicated than I
would have thought necessary, and if there aren't good reasons to
require more than POSIX make, it would be nice to stay with POSIX.

Fair enough - I have sent a patch which adds to the README the kind of
information present in almost all other software pacakges. It needs
adjusting to list the XEmacs versions that org can use, but I think it's
close.
