Make 1985/sicherman close to original as possible

... I think :-)

The thanks file gives much more details on how this works and as I am
very tired and want to get this in so I can do other things I will not
duplicate it here. It might become clear in that file why I believe it
cannot be made any more like the original without breaking it though I
left some questions for the reader to answer for themselves.

The Makefile also had a fix: the 'alt' rule was in error so that running
'make alt' in the directory would compile it to 'alt', not
'sicherman.alt'.
