No, you can only output specific variables where the names of the  
variables
must be known.

Ok, so you want to print out basically the values for the variables in  
gar.conf.mk
or the GAR variable reference, right?

This does not work as you don't change the libdir variable. You could do
   libdir_install = $(prefix)/lib/svn

That does not work, right. I am currently looking at the GNU make  
debugger
"remake" if it would help.
