I cannot believe there is no (easily located) step-by-step guide to convert a standard manual bsh:make project for use in PODS. Has anybody done this?
There's no guide, as the current version is an almost-documentation free technical preview. We are working on documents that talk about how to migrate projects into PODS as part of the final 1.0 release coming this summer, but we wanted to get an early version out to developers at the conference in February, hence the 0.1.1 release.
As for bash -- the standard Cygwin install.exe will work with the PalmOSCygwin installation, so you can use that to pull in other utilities that weren't included with the download, including bash. It's also a good idea to update the pilrc.exe that comes with PODS -- it's a very old version -- the current 3.2 beta build is on sourceforge.net/projects/pilrc.
Without seeing how you structured your makefile, I can't really recommend a migration strategy. I will note that the build system has changed considerably from PODS 0.1.1 to the 1.0 release, so you'll have to rebuild any existing projects with the final tools when they are available.
