When Nicolas added asynchronous export to the new exporter I was able to abandon the Makefile. Lately, I've been tangling init.el files from my source document. I really like this approach because the asynchronous exporter starts off with a fresh emacs instance (the infamous emacs -Q, I think) and you don't have to worry if your .emacs has an old setting that has some weird effect on export--all of the setup is in the babel block that generates the init.el file. I like that the init.el setup travels with the document in the Org mode file. I think it helps with reproducibility. All the best, Tom -- T.S.
