 Hi Alex,

I noticed that these deprecated targets do not show up in the
output of "configure --help" at all anymore:

 --target-list=LIST       set target list (default: build everything)

The text "default: build everything" is now also not accurate anymore.
How is a user who is still interested in these targets supposed to find
the right --target-list parameters now?
