Add a help target to the Makefile to be able to run make help, in the same way does the Makefiles self-generated by some build systems. The target list has been statically extracted from the git Makefile with a script and the results have been filtered in an essentially arbitrary way to leave the ones that i imagines most interesting and frequent for a developer.
