The source code to Predict will predict the sun position pretty accurately
and it's written in Pascal so pretty easy to recode in a decent language ;o)
Getting a PC to drive a pair of screwjacks to move a reflector is pretty
straightforward too.

What are you gonna do with your solar furnace?  I've seen them made using
waste CDs but that was just for a lark.  I've got a spindle of duff CDs that
could be used if you like.
