Thank you for the info.

Here's the output of attempting to run make (after installing GNU make and coreutils):

It doesn't exist. (Yet.) ;)
Of those you listed PowerShell is, IMO, the best... but that's not really saying a lot. (GPRBuild is usable, in the way that C is, but we *really* ought to have a better project language.)
