This patch goes the wrong way.

I've committed what appears to be the closest thing this thread has
had to a consensus: leave the extra docs in the Makefile, remove the
extra docs from the echos.  We don't want to make it too easy for
people, but do want to allow people clueful enough to read the
Makefile to see it easily.  This is the smallest modification to the
pre-existing consensus that I could find to resolve the issue.
