This is to be a "distribution," and they tell you to write the ass end 
of it first. Then a person hears about how directories and C compilers 
are brought to bear, and hence the post. The idioms I'm holding to are 
those of Gilligan's island, and the castaways need to figure out where 
they are so that they can get themselves through the ordeal and 
homeward. Now that juno closes in on jove, I find the extension to 
exploring the solar system apropos. If I recall correctly, that isn't 
far from your line of work.

Getting this functionality would be victory enough for this thread. I'm 
on my linux partition now and falling short:
$ pwd
/home/fred/Downloads/island-master
$ make cprog1.c
make: Nothing to be done for `cprog1.c'.

I'll give it a try on windows when I get back there. Thanks for your 
comment, james.
