Follow-up Comment #14, bug#64571 (group make):
I think JSON would be a good solution.
> (b) these tools (like jq for example) are not part of most standard systems
and so can't be relied on to exist everywhere,
It's no harder to install `jq` than it is to install `make` these days, even
on relatively ancient distros. I don't see why this would be an issue.
> (c) jq, at least, is somewhat tricky to use correctly especially if you want
to do matching etc.
I don't particularly like its syntax but it's not especially difficult, and
let's face it most people are going to be googling "how to print make targets"
and copy/pasting the first stack-overflow page.
On the other hand, maybe it is over-complicating things.
