[PATCH 0/2] Set Makefile variables from configure

These patches add support for setting the newly created DEFAULT_EDITOR and DEFAULT_PAGER from the configure script. I also tacked in ETC_GITCONFIG, since I can't currently toggle this without setting a command line value when building, but have need to alter it.

The function added is generic, and will allow for setting new variables as needed in the future. No validation is done on the values. It is less specific than the *_PATH setting functions that already exist.
