Prtability is not an issue, but still.  Can't you use $(builddir)
here or what it is called?

Is TEXINPUTS a search path?  Can't this be passed on the command line,
I'd prefer that over mangling the environment.  At the very least
you'd have to preserve the already existing value of it (ie, extending
it rather than overwriting).

Thanks,
Marcus
