I was thinking of adding a little bit of inline help for gnustep-make.
What's the best way ? I was thinking of adding a target like
$> make help
This is gnustep-make 1.13.0.
Most common targets:
make all (builds)
make install (installs)
make uninstall (uninstalls)
make clean (deletes built files)
make distclean (deletes all built files)
make dist (creates a .tar.gz of the software sources)
Most common options that can be used with any of the targets:
debug=no (turns off generation of debug symbols)
strip=yes (strips executables and objects before installing)
shared=no (builds static executable and objects)
messages=yes (prints verbosely all commands being executed)
GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DIR=/usr/GNUstep/System (installs in the specified dir)
$>
I'm all for adding more documentation and help...
but...
please *don't* make it a target!
$> make help
is used to generate application help files.

The obvious one would be --help but that'd invoke 'make's own, of course ;)
Here are some other ideas you could use:
info
helpme
summary
options
gnustep-make-help
shortform
or make it an option
info=yes
summary=yes
shortform=yes
