Hello Louis-Paul,
You should consider changing your e-mail client, or configure it
better. Indeed, the plain text version of your e-mail is not properly
quoted, i.e the text from me you are replying to was not quoted with
">" signs.

You can do:
make VARS=FOO% printvars
if the different variables you want to get match a wildcard.
Or alternatively, you can do just:
make printvars
pay the one-time price of dumping all variables, and then grab what you
need from the output.
But otherwise, I agree that indeed it is quite slow.
