I've looked up "Automatic Variables" and other parts of the manual,
used google, etc.

No, I dont.
Please have a look at my Makefile ...:
----
doc: TARGET = doc
clean: TARGET = clean
.PHONY: doc clean targetname
doc: targetname
@echo doing some work
clean: targetname
@echo cleaning up
targetname:
@echo What I want is: $(TARGET), not $@
----
... and the output:
----
$ make doc
What I want is: doc, not targetname
doing some work
$ make clean
What I want is: clean, not targetname
cleaning up
----
I want the name of the "main" target from the command line, not the
one of some prerequisite.
