Add preview of 1984-2019

The 2020 winners are hinted it, but the source code is not there,
nor are the hints. Someone could look into the HTML and
see what was commented out, but that is not a problem because
WHO won is known and the name of their AWARD is known already.
Moreover a number of the winners have talked about what their
entirs do, so the commented out spoiler text is not a bit problem.

One will find HTML commented out with:

    <!-- XXX remove when 2020 is ready
    2020 links here
    XXX remove when 2020 is ready -->

The "XXX remove when 2020 is ready" string is found at the
start and end comment blocks.  Again, soneone could read
what was commented out, but that is OK since most of that
information is known or can be known.  The following files
have such HTML comment blocks in them.

    ./winners.html
    ./years-spoiler.html
    ./years.html

In addition, ./all/summary.txt was modified to not
include the 2020 entries for the momemt.

The 2020 winner code AND write-ups are NOT part of this set.

p.s. The all/all.tar.bz2 does not contain the 2020 source code (yet?).

+I'm sure you have all seen gross, or down right structurally obscene C
+source code before.  Some people who deal with various parts of the
+UN*X  source wonder if some folks try rather hard to produce such
+down right smelly code.
+
+Now you have the chance to compete with the worst C hackers around
+by sending in your own obfuscated C program.  Just follow the contest
+rules below:
+		1) the source file must be no more than 512 bytes long
+
+		2) mail your source to:    hplabs!nsc!chongo
+		   no later than April 11, 1984.  entries posted to
+		   the net will NOT be accepted.  please give your
+		   letter the subject of: obfuscated C code contest.
+
+		3) winning entries will be posted to net.lang.c after
+		   April 12, 1894.  (thats the prize folks)
+
+		4) indicate your net address in the text of your
+		   entry, this will be used to give credit unless
+		   you indicate that you want to remain anonymous.
+
+		5) entries must be of original work.  (dont send anything
+		   that might upset Big Brother Bell)  all entries are
+		   public domain.  (who would want to own them anyway?!)
+
+Entries will be judged for: violations of structured programming, non-clarity,
+and use of "by the K&R book" C. (use of local mods to C are not encouraged)
+extra credit if they can be compiled using the 4.2BSD C compiler on our VAX 780,
+but dont let the lack of a 780 or 4.2 discourage you!

+
+WARNING: The rules and mailing address for the contest change from year
+         to year.  Be sure that you consult the current set of rules
+	 before submitting entries.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+It is time once again for the net wide Obfuscated C code contest!
+
+GOAL:  To write the most Obscure working C program under the rules below:
+
+RULES:	1) The source must be 512 bytes or less.
+	2) Mail your entries to:	  ...!ihnp4!nsc!chongo
+	   Postings to the net will NOT be used!
+	3) Include at the top of the letter:
+	    a) Your name, and path from a major network node.
+	       If you want your entry to be anonymous, indicate this as well.
+	    b) A brief statement of what the program should do.
+	    c) The machine/opsys on which it runs.
+	4) Enclose your source between the following lines:
+---start of program---
+<place obfuscated source here>
+---end of program---
+	5) The C program must be written in common C. 
+	   That is, K&R plus common extensions (say 4.2 or Sys V C)
+	6) The program must be of original work.
+	7) The program must be a complete program. (i.e., not just a fragment)
+	8) Entries must be received by me on or before June 8, 1985.
+
+POINTS:	Each entry will be judged for its non-clarity.  I will attempt to
+	run each of them on a Vax 780/4.2BSD system.   Don't let the lack
+	of such a system stop you!  Try to avoid operating system/machine
+	specific code if you do not have such a system.  Extra points will
+	be given for program that:
+
+	a) Able to pass lint without complaint
+	b) Actually does something interesting  (not just exit)
+	c) are portable (i.e., no special calls of local features)
+	   (long variable names will be allowed as needed)
+
+The names of the winners will be posted to net.lang.c.  The winning
+sources will be posted to net.sources.
+
+If you have any questions on the rules/points above, just ask via mail!

+The rules for 1986 suggested categories due to the success of the 1985
+judging method.  The maximum size was increased from 512 to 1024 bytes.
+Larry Bassel joined as the second official judge.
+
+A poll was taken for the worst code for BSD and System V program.
+The Bourne Shell (/bin/sh) won for both systems.  The BSD finger 
+program took third place.
+
+Rules and results were posted to net.lang.c and net.unix-wizards.
+Micro/Systems Journal published started regular publishing of the winners.
+The practice of making first announcement of the winners at the Summer

+Compile and/or execute as directed by the documentation.
+
+The judges were so amused by this little program that we created an
+award just for it.  This program is portable to the C and Fortran 77
+compilers as well as executable by the bourne shell!

+## Judges' comments:
+
+The judges found this entry to be one of hardest to read without the
+aid of `/lib/cpp` and a good editor.  When run, the program asks if it
+is obfuscated, of all things!

+WARNING: The rules and mailing address for the contest change from year
+         to year.  Be sure that you consult the current set of rules
+	 before submitting entries.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Subject: Third International Obfuscated C Code Contest Rules
+Newsgroups: net.lang.c
+Keywords: rules,1986,obfuscate,contest
+
+GOAL:  To write the most Obscure working C program following the rules below:
+
+RULES:	1) The source must be 1024 bytes or less.  NO exceptions!
+
+	2) Include in your letter:
+	    a) Name (or anonymous), Company/School, City, State and Country.
+	    b) Your path from a major network site, if applicable.
+	    c) A brief statement of what the program should do.
+	    d) The Machine(s)/Operating system(s) on which it runs.
+	    e) Enclose your source between the following lines:
+		---start of program---
+		<place obfuscated source of 1024 bytes or less here>
+		---end of program---
+
+	3) The entry should be written in common C. (K&R + common extensions)
+
+	4) The program must be of original work.  All programs must be
+	   in the public domain.  All copyrighted programs will be rejected.
+
+	5) Entries must be received between 31-Mar-86 and 30-May-86 0:00 GMT.
+	   Email your entries to:
+	   
+				decwrl!nsc!obfuscate
+
+	   Entries sent by UUCP Email will be confirmed starting 1-May-86.
+	   People are encouraged to submit entries via Email, however one may
+	   mail entries the following address:
+
+		International Obfuscated C Code Contest
+		National Semiconductor
+		Attn: Landon Noll      Mail Stop: 7c266
+		1135 Kern Ave.
+		Sunnyvale, CA 94086
+		U.S.A.
+
+AWARDS:	Winners of each category and the best of Show will be posted to
+	net.announce as well as being published in the May 86 issue of the
+	"Micro/Systems Journal".  Winners also get to receive international
+	fame/flame for their efforts!
+
+JUDGING: Awards will be given to the best entry in a number of categories.
+	 The actual category list will vary depending on the types of entries
+	 we receive.  At the moment, we are considering using the following:
+
+		* The most obscure algorithm
+		* The worst abuse of the C preprocessor
+		* The strangest source layout
+		* The best small one line program
+		* The most useful program
+		* <anything else we need to give recognition to a good entry>
+
+	Judging will be done by myself, Larry Bassel and other local people
+	who are willing to help out.
+
+	We will attempt to run each of them on a Vax 785/4.2BSD system.
+	Don't let the lack of such a system stop you!  Try to avoid operating
+	system/machine specific code if you do not have such a system.
+	Extra points will be given for programs which:
+
+		a) pass lint without complaint
+		b) do something quasi-interesting
+		c) are portable
+
+	A larger program size was selected to allow for a wider range of
+	program ideas.  However if you don't need 1024 bytes don't use them.
+	Given two programs with similar techniques and similar levels of
+	obfuscation, we will tend to favor the more concise entry.
+
+POLL:	We want to know what you think is the most poorly coded utility
+	released with 4.xBSD and/or Sys V.  The top results plus the
+	best flames will be posted along with the contest results.
+	To vote, please	follow the guidelines below:
+
+	1) Include at the top of the letter:
+	    a) Name (or anonymous), Company/School, City, State and Country.
+	    b) Your path from a major network site, if applicable.
+	    c) the name of the poorly coded utility
+	    d) the name of the operating system on which it is found
+	    e) the line:	<<<FLAME ON>>>
+	    f) 		up to 1024 bytes of flames
+	    g) the line:	<<<FLAME OFF>>>
+
+	2) Confine your vote to the standard set of commands.  I.e., don't
+	   flame about local commands or user contributed software.
+
+	3) Submit your votes via Email to:
+
+	   	for 4.xBSD:  decwrl!nsc!bsd_util
+	   	for Sys V:   decwrl!nsc!sysV_util
+
+	   or, you may send your votes by letter to the same address used by
+	   the contest.  Please place your votes on different sheets of paper.

+
+The rules for 1987 suggested even more categories than in 1986.  Hints
+for what to do and not to do were also given in the rules.  For
+example, a simple excessive abuse of /lib/cpp was discouraged unless
+the abuse was unusual.  The mailboxes for the contest were moved from
+nsc to amdahl.  The practice of posting a preliminary set of rules for
+the next year was started this year.
+
+Rules and results were posted to comp.lang.c, comp.unix.wizards with
+an announcement in news.announce.important.  Micro/Systems Journal
+published the 1987 winners.  Mark Horton included a version of the 1987
+winners in an appendix of his C book.  The first announcement of
+winners at the Summer 87 Usenix was helped by a small fly that
+danced all over the foils.
