Makefile

RT Developers

Hello,

I’m just working on installing RT for the first time and saw some stuff in
the Makefile that wasn’t clear, such as the comment for DB_HOME, which was
languaged in such a way to indicate that RT may install stuff in $DB_HOME.
Also, this cleans up the tabbing and spacing to make all of the variables a
little neater to look at.

Best,
Blair
