How to print at the start of Makefile

Hi,

I would like to print a banner string whenever user does any operation
in my makefile. The banner echoes some information on the shell. Since
there are many many targets in the makefile, I do not know what the
user will run and therefore I cannot assign the banner target as one
of my rules' dependencies.

Could you suggest something? What I want is :

When I do:

make x Or make y OR ....

The Makefile always prints the following as the first operation:

echo "logname, hostname, date, time etc etc"

Regards,
Ajay
