2018/ferguson fixes
Make test.sh +x. Formatting fixes. Typo fixes. Other things as well. I'm actually aware of some other things that could still be done including removing some text that is no longer needed (and some that probably is not needed) but this can come at a later date.

What? Install an IOCCC entry? I realise it seems odd so why did I make a rpm
|
||||
spec file and why did I hint at building RPMs for others? I can't say precisely;

the entry was fun enough for me that I actually will* (a number of my programs

this entry). I already have my own RPM repository and initially after having won

I set it up so that I could host the weasel rpm (binary and source) there. At
|

the same time though I feel the entry belongs on the IOCCC website; that is to
|

say the only place the raw files should be downloadable from is the IOCCC
|

website itself. Simon Cooper (the judge who deals with setting up the entries on
|
||||
the IOCCC website) asked me if there is any real attachment in having the RPM
|
||||
built as part of the entry and the answer is 'no'. He did suggest too that if
|
||||
I were to have the RPM hosted on the IOCCC website not only would it place a
|
||||
burden on me to keep it up to date but it would place a burden on the judges -

in other words he himself. Even if it wasn't a burden to me I agree on the other

part and so I have instead come to the following ideas:
