Those are buildtargets that don't refer directly to a specific output file. The targets "All" and "clean" are virtual build targets.

So in short they are a method of grouping some of the different buildtargets of your project into one buildtarget. (e.g. some GUI required buildtargets into virtual target GUI and console targets into CONSOLE).
