It's really not that bad if you take it one step at a time. It's doing the
steps that you'd need to do if you did it by hand. Start at the bottom and
work toward the top. Translate the .bas to .c, compile the .c to .obj,
convert the .rc to .res (whoops that one's at the bottom - the order really
does not matter) and link it all together to make a .exe file.

I hope to simplify the makefile by using some of the tricks that are
customarily used in makefiles (but I have to refresh myself on the syntax
before I can do that), and I'd eventually like to make the .obj files into a
library when the number of modules becomes large enough to benefit from it.
