OK, but you insist on the targets `man-pages' and `readme', you can
just
put the whole block inside an if:
if MAN_PAGES
man-pages:
# do your stuff
else
man-pages:
# do nothing
fi
my vars are called WANT_MAN_PAGES, WANT_README etc, but other than
that, its the same, for example ...
if WANT_MAN_PAGES
cp fooman.8 $(foomandir)
fi
etc
and it leads to the following error ...
