[tei-council] Mods for supporting git

[Hugh Cayless]

Done. I also added a modification that will let you drop in a "local.mk"
makefile next to the main one, in which you can override default variables
should you wish. If the file doesn't exist, nothing bad should happen, but
it means people like me can be lazy and not have to type

make XSL=/whatever/Stylesheets html-web

when we want to build stuff, without having to worry about checking in our
tweaks to the Makefile by accident.

Now waiting to see if I get scolded by Mr. Jenkins...
