In general, we're trying to abstract away from OS-dependent definitions.

Sounds to me like we should have a

DEFAULT_SENDMAIL_PATH= ...

in the platform definitions, and then the Makefile should be fixed to
use

MAKE_ENV+=      "SENDMAIL=${DEFAULT_SENDMAIL_PATH}"

This would make it much more scalable (in general).
