In odin: ODE Generation and Integration

##' Test if compilation appears possible.  This is used in some
##' examples, and tries compiling a trivial C program with
##' `pkgbuild`.  Results are cached between runs within a session
##' so this should be fast to rely on.
##'
##' We use `pkgbuild` in order to build packages, and it includes a
##' set of heuristics to locate and organise your C compiler. The most
##' likely people affected here are Windows users; if you get this
##' ensure that you have rtools installed.  Using
##' [pkgbuild::find_rtools()] with `debug = TRUE` may be helpful for
##' diagnosing compiler issues.
