1922	Review Parrot's 'make help'	jkeenan	jkeenan	"When a Parrot developer invokes `make help`, slightly over 100 lines are printed to STDOUT. Most of those lines describe various make targets. However, it has been a long time since these targets were reviewed for the following qualities:

    * '''Existence:''' Does a particular target listed in help actually still exist in ''Makefile''?
    * '''Functionality:''' Does a particular target still work as documented?
    * '''Accuracy:''' Does the help message really describe what the target does?
    * '''Absence:''' Are there targets in ''Makefile'' which are not listed in help but which ought to be? 

We need a report which evaluates Parrot's `make help` with respect to the qualities listed above -- and any other relevant qualities. The report should appear in a plain-text file attached to this ticket.

The report may be accompanied as appropriate by patches to ''config/gen/makefiles/root.in'' and other files in Parrot's configuration system used to generate the ''Makefile''.

This ticket will be offered as a Google Code-In task.

Thank you very much.
