#!/bin/bash
# Usage: create a file foo.c, make foo a symlink to this script
# When foo is executed, this script silently compiles foo.c into .make-and-exec-binaries/foo (if necessary) and execs that with the arguments provided.
# Making a symlink named foo-dbg causes it to compile foo.c with -DDEBUG.
# To customise the compilation, you can set a CFLAGS env var before running foo.
