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.

Judges' comments:
To use:
make weisberg
./weisberg
This entry confuses some C-preprocessors and some C-beautifiers.
We found one cpp that processed this source differently when
it was read on stdin instead of via cc -E.
If you liked what you saw from the above program, and happen to
have some 512 Megabytes of virtual memory laying around with to do,
you could try:
make weisberg.alt
./weisberg.alt
Lesser systems will find this alternative version a good way to create
a core file. :-)
Selected notes from the author:
Description:
The following short program implements the "Yet Another" algorithm for
generating prime numbers. It will generate all primes up to 33554432,
displaying them to the standard output as it churns along. As 33554432
is rather large on most machines, this code may take quite some time to
run to completion, so as an added feature, it will cease execution upon
reception of a signal (any will do equally well), as well as in the
event of a system shutdown or reboot.
Bugs:
The alternative version (weisberg.alt) has never actually run
to completion. After running for close to a week it had reached
somewhere around 250e6, when it became necessary to test the
reboot feature (which worked remarkably well) As there are
quite a lot of primes to be found before reaching MAXINT, the
output produced can be quite overwhelming, it recommended to
pipe the output through your favorite pager (more or less), and not
output to a paper output device (unless you have *LOTS* of paper).
Technical:
The original "Yet Another Prime Program" algorithm used here was
developed as a Computer Architecture course micro-programing exercise,
and was designed to take full advantage of the UR300
micro-architecture to achieve blindingly fast speed. It was ported to
C specifically for the IOCCC. In the conversion/obfuscation step some
of (much of) the blazing speed was lost, but as a bonus, the
understandability of the code was reduced to zero.
