Thanks for the answer, but dry-run won't print the prerequisites.

My final aim is to get a JSON|XML description of the Makefile to convert 
it into for another worflow engine. Something like:

(...)
<rule>
  <target>file.o</target>
  <prerequisite>file.c</prerequisite>
  <prerequisite>file.h</prerequisite>
  <recipe>gcc -o file.o -c file.c</recipe>
</rule>
(...)
