      "make help" outputs

        ...
        JTREG="OPT1=x;OPT2=y" # Control the JTREG test harness, use 'help' to list

      The "use 'help' to list" text is not straightforward to follow. Common incorrect interpretations are:

        make help JTREG
        make help JTREG=help

      The correct way to list those options is:

        [configure]
        make test-only JTREG=help

      Let's write that out explicitly in the help.
