Progress: featureless make and related

It turns out I need custom functions for processing the mode like the chmod program works.
During the process of writing this I discovered several different ways chmod accepts arguments that I wasn't aware.
As a result I changed my logic repeatedly and this code is in a very much incomplete state.

This is being committed primarily to avoid losing any data (more so than usual).
There will be a lot of clean up when I get back to completing this.
