With regards to docs, i have started a GAR variable reference:

  http://apps.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/gar/index.php?title=GAR_Variable_Reference

So if you are having a look at another GAR Makefile and wondering
"what is he doing there?", give the reference a try. I found it
helpful as a support tool for people just learning GAR (helps to
read existing Makefiles).

The reference is written with the current mGAR v2 in mind (i.e. it
likely contains stuff that is _not_ supported in other GAR versions).

Feel free to add additional information.
