+- femto: build femto binary
+- flisp: build fLisp binary
+- doc: build some markdown files from Poshdoc and some html files from markdown
+- doxygen: build the Doxygen source code documentation
+- measure: count # of files and code lines
+- test: run unit tests in summary mode
+- check: run unit tests and return success if none fails
+- ftest: call femto several times with different commandline parameters.
+- val: run femto with valgrind. Logs are found in val.log
+- clean: clean up build artifacts
+- deb: build Debian package
+- install/uninstall: install/uninstall locally
