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 build:
make dorssel
To use:
echo Simple as 123 | ./dorssel
echo '.... --- .-- -.. --- . ... .. - -.. --- - .... .- -'|./dorssel
How does the program decide which way to convert?
What obsolescent feature are we talking about? (No, it's not a
C language feature.)
The author suggests that you try to answer the following questions:
- Which character in the initializing string is totally irrelevant?
- Which two relevant characters in the initializing string may be
exchanged without altering the behavior?
- Which characters in the initializing string are somewhat irrelevant,
and to what values may they be changed without altering the behavior?
- Which characters may be used to enlarge the initializing string by
one without altering the behavior ?
Extra credit: Change the program so that it does not SHOUT IN ALL CAPS.

Selected author's notes:
Usage
=====
This program converts ASCII to Morse code, and vice versa.
The program reads in lines from standard input and writes its result to
standard output. The direction of conversion is determined on a per
line basis. Each line must consist of a maximum of 952 characters
followed by a new line character, they must not contain any NUL
characters. Otherwise, some characters may be lost in the conversion.
- Encoding to Morse code:
The program knows the Morse codes for all Latin letters (a-z, case
insensitive) and decimal digits (0-9). Any other characters are
replaced by an ASCII space ' '. Morse code per converted character is
written as a sequence of '.' and '-' characters, each sequence
followed by a space.
- Decoding from Morse code:
Morse code should be typed as sequences of '.' and '-' characters,
separated by a space. Extra spaces will be echoed back (to separate
words). Unknown sequences will be converted to a '?' character.
Notes
=====
The program assumes both source and execution character sets to be
ASCII. As far as I can tell, the program is conforming and does not
invoke undefined behavior.
Hints
=====
- Try
./dorssel < dorssel.c | ./dorssel
to see what variables, numbers, and functions are used. (Does a
better job than most C beautifiers).
- Filter your text twice (as in the previous sample) to obtain a version
of your text that can be reversibly morsified, i.e.
./dorssel | ./dorssel | ./dorssel | ./dorssel
is the same as
./dorssel | ./dorssel
- The file "dorssel.hint2" contains all the information needed to
understand this program. For an obfuscated spoiler, try
./dorssel < dorssel.hint2
