Why not just print a big message on standard output at the end of
"make install" (or also at the beginning), like for example:
"Attention: the default value of send-mail-function is now smtp.
If you want emacs to make use of your local MTA, then please change
line X in file Y."
- If root runs "make install" on the target system, then he can change
the default value of the variable.
- If "make install" runs on a special build host, the package maintainer
can just DTRT, at build time with a patch or at install time with a
post-install script.
