Fixes and updates to 2000/tomx
Format fixes in README.md. Link fix via the Internet Wayback Machine. This was also fixed in winners.csv and winners.html. Copy ../mkentry.c to this directory because the author made an example of where one can modify the program to compile it instead - it felt better than to change it to ../mkentry.c as that assumes the directory structure is the same. Added mkentry to .gitignore.

### Summary
|
||||
|
||||
This program works as a C source file, a Makefile and also as a
|
||||
Shell (/bin/sh) script. But unlike some other multi-language prog-
|
||||
rams, this one is NOT meant to print "Hello, world" in all 3 cases
|
||||
(At least in the true sense ;-)). The C, make and shell code build
|
||||
upon each other to create a C program (?) which when executed as a

||||
shell script will compile itself through the C compiler using a
|
||||
makefile! - Pretty useful, Eh?.

1. The program could have been something other than the simple "Hello, world"
