Subject: [PATCH] Fix 1988/litmaath/README.md + add alt code

There was no 'To build' or 'To run' section.

The alt code is that which the judges suggested to try and understand
the code a bit more. As it was fun output and it seems instructive I
decided to add it as an alt version.

Updated .gitignore.

+## To build:
+
+```sh
+make
+```
+
+## To run:
+
+```sh
+./litmaath some text
+```
+
+There is an alternate version provided. See the Alternate code section below.
+
 ## Try:
 
 ```sh
 ./litmaath eschew obfuscation
 ```
 
+### Alternate code:
+
+[Cody Boone Ferguson](/winners.html#Cody_Boone_Ferguson) added the
+[litmaath.alt.c](litmaath.alt.c) which we described in our remarks below. To
+use:
+
+```sh
+make alt
+```
+
+Use `litmaath.alt` as you would `litmaath` above.
+
+Thank you Cody!
