Hi Mike Echoing all the comments, this is a great lesson. Just went through it and found it very useful.
I also ran all examples on a Windows machine on which I had just done a fresh install of the usual SWC stack. I found that I actually did not need to install make on top of that, as this is already taken care of by the Software Carpentry Windows installer (in ~/.swc/bin). So there is nothing stopping us from mentioning make at the end of a workshop if there is time and interest!
