The try.sh and try.alt.sh scripts are respectively for the entry and the
alt code. There is a joke in them that is based on what the judges
originally suggested one try.
The weasel.man page was deleted. Instead weasel.1 has had the FILES
section removed (which caused some confusion in another way with
another winner of that year). The spec file will have to be tested again
another time.
I did NOT format / typo check the README.md file. Too much to do for now
and since it's mine I can do it any other time. I'd like to get through
the rest of the entries.
Thus this should complete (for now?) 2018/ferguson.
This is to match the rest of the repo as this truly is an alt version,
not a supplementary program.
Updated README.md to have an 'Alternate code' section as well.
A number of files had to be changed as numerous files referred to
prog-simple.c.

but I am not clear on some of the changes here. For instance some of the
text changed were html anchors and I'm not sure of the implications of
it other than the fact that changing the filenames (see commits
77fb0f11a2 and
851e191519) would break the links. Whether
more needs to be done or not I do not know.
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?).
