Your defense is no good, because there's nothing magic about
"install-tools". :-) The knowledge you lack is that Subversion's make
targets exist in two files: Makefile and build-outputs.mk. It is in the
latter where "install-tools" is defined.

$ grep install-tools Makefile build-outputs.mk
build-outputs.mk:install-tools:
tools/server-side/svn-populate-node-origins-index$(EXEEXT)
contrib/client-side/svnmucc/svnmucc$(EXEEXT)
