I could definitely see something like "make help" being helpful, since
make itself doesn't have a convenient way to list all of a Makefile's
targets.

I worry about this list getting stale, though. If we add a new target,
will we remember to update the "help" list here? It would be nice if we
could dynamically generate this list, but I think that loses out on the
filtering you've done here.

Thanks,
