Look at the README.md file for the given winner for information
on how to compile the winner and how to run the winning program.
Look at the winning source and try to figure how it does what it does!
You may then wish to look at the Author's comments for even more details.
Use make to compile entries. It is possible that on BSD or non-unix

Look at the source and try to figure out what the programs do, and run
them with various inputs. If you want to, look at the hints files for

Read over the makefile for compile/build issues. Your system may
