resurrecting the gnu c++ build on windows
this removes the visual studio compiler support, which was a nasty bit of glue and tacks.
we're moving to commodity gcc for our builds, which means we can leave behind a lot of ugly special casing for microsoft's bent way of doing things.

cleaner time synch crontab
since the two lines are alternates, it made sense to make that clearer, so i did.
moving out this other update system time crontab to see if i still need it.

had to hard code path to which
on some hosts, which is a function which hoses up our careful de-aliasing approach (putting a backslash in front).
now we're stuck with the semi-official location of expecting which in /usr/bin/which

simple pattern for user stories in scrum
not quite a document, but this is the archetypal user story format.
e.g. "as a standard user of the yoyodyne website, i'd like to have my
profile available on the site, so that i can check my records and
update them."

new doc with sign for a recycling bucket
very forceful language indeed.
also, the document_templates folder needs to be renamed. none are actual templates, although they are blank things i like to print out. maybe they're just "documents"? hmmm, unsatisfying.

tectonic tribulations edition: host preparation
needed for a bit; just automates a lot of separate install instructions.
planning to support windows with apt-cyg and mac with brew, but those steps are kinda hosed still.
is_feisty_up lets a caller know if the system is initialized yet or not, which was needed in prep_feisty_host.
functions have a couple changes, esp. a better whichable that now returns an error code instead of just not echoing text.
