git mv *.hint -> README.md

There is one exception:

    $ find . -name '*.hint' -execdir git mv '{}' README.md \;
    git statufatal: destination exists, source=1992/albert/albert.hint, destination=1992/albert/README.md

Looking at the two files they differ quite a bit so I've not changed it.
I'll bring this up on GitHub.

ANSI Committee's Worst Abuse of C:

Judges' comments:
The addition of trigraphs has made it easier to make programs
hard to read. It was a dark and stormy night for C when the
ANSI C committee added trigraphs to the standard. Too bad
that they didn't just simply require a more reasonable ISO
character set.
The common.mk (non-ANSI) makefile uses sed to form scjones.alt.c.
The scjones.alt.c is similar to the original scjones.c source,
but with all the trigraphs converted. You might want to try:
make -f common.mk scjones.alt.c
even if you only have an ANSI compiler, just to see how
the trigrapsh are converted.
WARNING: In the future, we will be passing ANSI programs through a
trigraph filter before reading. Trigraph-ifacation will
not be a major consideration in future contests. People
should exploit more interesting features of ANSI C.
Selected notes from the author:
Since this year's contest is dedicated to ANSI C, here is a
strictly conforming entry. In accordance with the ANSI
definition of a strictly conforming program it does not produce
output dependent on any unspecified, undefined, or implementation
defined behavior, and it does not exceed any of the minimum
implementation limits. It adheres to all of the syntactic and
semantic constraints of the standard, #includes the relevant
headers for the functions it uses, and uses the EXIT_SUCCESS and
EXIT_FAILURE macros to return a correct success/fail status to
the invoking program. It also uses trigraphs for characters
which are not in the Invariant Code Set of ISO 646:1983, so it
will be portable to machines with deficient (from C's standpoint)
character sets. In short, it should be very widely portable. As
an extra added attraction, all of the lines are under 72
characters long, which would allow for sequence numbers to be
punched in columns 73-80 :-).
[[ The Author sent us this note after he was informed that he won ]]
Although I am quite grateful for the "ANSI Committee's Worst Abuse
of C" title (were you aware that I am a member of the committee or
is the double meaning unintentional?), I was really hoping for
something more along the lines of "Closest Resemblance to Line Noise." :-)
