Remove 2012/kang alt code

Browse Source 
This code is based on a 'fix' that causes another issue, and could
potentially be 'wrong' to have. It is better, I think, to pose the
challenge to the viewer to see if they can solve the problem themselves,
and if so if there are any issues with such a fix.

There is alternate code which fixes some German at the expense of other German.

@@ -29,52 +26,6 @@ How does it have no `u` or `o` in a string in the source code and yet it gets
`uno` right?
## Alternate code:
This alternate code fixes the program that would throw off those who know German
where the sound of 'V' is 'F' and so the program had the letter be 'F'. A
problem, however, with changing it is that it breaks other words including in
German. Thus there is the alternate version instead which fixes a problem for
Germans that causes problems for Germans so if you're German you'll just have to
deal with it :-) It also breaks other words too and this happens only for one
letter change. With this one should hopefully be able to really appreciate the
subtlety of this entry even more.
### Alternate build:
``` <!---sh-->
make alt
```
### Alternate use:
``` <!---sh-->
echo "full spelling of an English cardinal numeral less than a quadrillion" | ./kang.alt
echo vier | ./kang.alt
echo uno | ./kang.alt
```
### Alternate try:
``` <!---sh-->
./try.alt.sh # try various languages
./en.alt.sh # English 0 through 13
./de.alt.sh # German 0 through 13 with both umlauts and without (additional 'e')
```
What does it get right? What does it get wrong? How does it compare to the
original entry without the change of `f` to `v`?
Finally why does it get wrong what it gets wrong?

Also, can you get the program to use the proper `V` in German instead of `F`,
for `vier` (four)? In other words, can you get it to use `vier` instead of
`fier`? What happens if you do do this?
