Perfect timing on asking this question Martin. I have been wondering about exactly the same question myself for IDE and external tooling support. To make parsing easier I would prefer if the target which displayed information about the configurations was relatively unadorned.

I'm having fun with the shiny new build system. It took me a while to discover that "make help" was exceptionally helpful.
However, I was interested in passing a configuration to CONF= and was annoyed there was no clue what to provide. (I wasn't even sure exactly what a "configuration" was) After some trial and error, I discovered that make CONF=bogus would actually give me that precious list of supported configurations. It would be nice if "make help" always printed that list, even though by default it contains only one entry.
