Actually, it doesn't seem like it's useable for me:

* It's extra-chatty on stdout, so I'd need to filter out the extra
crap it thinks I need to know:

rot26# make -P -j1 describe | more
Remaking `_accessibility.describe'
Results of making _accessibility.describe:

=3D=3D=3D> accessibility
=3D=3D=3D> accessibility/at-spi
at-spi-1.3.15|/usr/ports/accessibility/at-spi|/usr/X11R6|An Assistive Techn=
ology Service Provider Interface|/usr/ports/acce[...]
=20
* It redirects stderr to stdout, so I don't have a way of catching the
error output to present to the user.
