Format fix 1980s and 1990s README.md files

I also updated the todo.md file as I left some things out that have to
be done. I only explicitly named one thing but when I go over them as a
final pass I will address the things in question (some will require
discussion).

Read over the makefile for compile/build issues. Your system may
require certain changes (add or remove a library, add or remove a
#define). A number of compilers had problems optimizing certain
entries. Some compilers do optimize, but the resulting program
does not work. By default we have left off -O from compile lines.
You might want to add -O back, or add it back for certain entries
where performance is important.

This year marked an all time high for number of entries as well as the
quality of entries. Nearly twice the usual number of entries made it
to the final judging rounds. Even when we raised the standards for
winning, we still wound giving out a few more awards than in other

high quality.
FYI: By tradition, we do not record the count the number entries,
nor do we give our our guess as to the number of entries
received. For folks who wonder, we can say that we consumed
about 2000 pages of output (printing between 2 and 4 normal
pages per side) during the judging process this year.
