I'm a little bit concerned about these variables. They are specific to
the graph-build-time thing, but still they clutter the 'make help'
output, just for some very special functionality.

Since it's quite specific, shouldn't we just document them in the
manual instead, and keep only the graph-build target in make help?

Thanks!

Thomas
