To build:
execute the makectemp script
./makectemp (or if . is in your path, a simple makectemp will do).

usage:
It's a very simple temperature converter written to fill in an
obvious gap in the typical linux command-line utilities.

Flags follow an in/out convention. For example celsius
in and kelvin out would be -ck. Fahrenheit is f, natch.

Make sure you use \"-\" as a flag prefix, and that your
flags are correct. The program will simply ignore invalid flags.
    Valid options are:
no flag, -fc, -fk, -cf, -ck, -kf, -kc
...where using no flag is equivalent to typing -fc. So
    ctemp 32
...will yield 0 degrees celsius, and is exactly the same as:
    ctemp -fc 32
Of course, the flag letters mean:
    k -- kelvin
    f -- fahrenheit
    c -- celsius
Note there is no relationship between the author and any
fast-food chicken corporations.

You can request any number of temperature conversions after 
the flag, and you can change the flag at any time. Subsequent
conversions will always reflect the last flag. For example
    ctemp 32 -cf 0 100 -ck 0
Will yeild one celsius, two fahrenheit, and one kelvin result.
