"useful" is tricky.
A simple-minded way to list all targets is
  grep : Makefile

or to reduce the noise a little bit
  grep '^[^ 	\.]*:' Makefile


As Phillip pointed out, however, not all of the subdirectory
targets are recognized from the top level directory.  I have
not really looked into that, but if someone has a quick fix
please let me know.
