I find this "make help" very helpful (at work, on a different project). With this I don't have to crawl through Makefile when I need something but cannot remember what's the target name. It should also help discover new targets. We may also have "make vars" (or something like that) that shows list of user-configurable variables, basically a conversion of the big comment block near the makefile's top into a printable target. I don't work with this Makefile much, so this is just an idea. Anyone up to turn it to something actually useful?
