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;
**certainly I'm under no impression that anyone else will want to use it** *but
the entry was fun enough for me that I actually will* (a number of my programs
over the years are programs I actually install and I already have done so with
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:

the judges' comments (which I liked a lot) which is yet another reason I kept
it.
