updates for less shelly behavior
took out a few things that were previously generated everytime a build was performed, in fact, they were done per each makefile, potentially consuming a huge amount of windoze's spoons. windoze is just NOT good at running lots of little programs, and prefers the big blobby ones. so we're trying to cut down on the shelling out done by feisty builds by offloading them to the regeneration process.

plugging in new approach for testing
this doesn't make the code read any files at runtime; instead the virtual root for unix on win32 is put in a low-level header that's stored in the binaries dir along with the code.

improved zapper using psfind
psfind is now working pretty great, whereas the psa script is busted on windoze now.
this new approach also doesn't just zap one process, but zaps every fallout process it finds.

psfind working to get windows pid, but...
this winpid is not working in ps tools to lookup a process.
need to dig into this further, but hopefully the zap_fallout script will
start working again.
may have to add a flag to psfind that tells it to return either cygwin pids
for use in ps or winpids for use in taskkill, if the former is actually a
usable pid value in ps.

reversed course a bunch but better psfind approach
made it just use awk to pluck out the fields, so we didn't need a lot of ugly escaped stuff trying to make a command line that would de-escape the right way at the right time.

updates lurching towards functionality
first attempt at virtual unix root is not going to work out due to interdependencies introduced between configuration and filesystem or vice-versa. i warned about them in a comment, and they unfortunately became true. we need to pull the virtual unix root up to a new level, hoist it into a config file that we can generate at build time and not depend on a lot of file ops.

welding in a virtual unix root for windoze
since windows is too dumb to have a top-level root folder, we need to rely on the virtualization environment that is getting us the features we rely on, which usually come from unix (or linux). the toolsets used in the past for this include MSYS, Cygwin, and possibly others. this release is starting to support Cygwin and others will be added as time permits.

branchy recurses!
yeah!
now a more expected behavior is exhibited if current directory has several repositories under it; each repo below or at current dir will be found (subject to depth limit).

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
