Steve,

there's no easy way. Things are complicated by the fact that include directories can be different not only by build variant,
but also by metatarget.

It's kinda possible to extract this information by passing the --debug-building option, which will print properties with which
every metatarget is generated. Please give it a try and tell whether the information is there - in which case it might be
possible to generate a more friendly output.

HTH,
