Landon Curt Noll 11dfe51c6c move IOCCC Quick Start Guide
Created `quick-start.md` to hold the FAQ 0.0 content.

Used `sgit(1)` to change:

* faq.html#enter ==> quick-start.html#enter
* faq.html#enter_questions ==> quick-start.html#enter_questions
* faq.html#step_0 ==> quick-start.html#step_0
* faq.html#step_1 ==> quick-start.html#step_1
* faq.html#step_2 ==> quick-start.html#step_2
* faq.html#register ==> quick-start.html#register
* faq.html#step_3 ==> quick-start.html#step_3
* faq.html#step_4 ==> quick-start.html#step_4
* faq.html#step_5 ==> quick-start.html#step_5
* faq.html#step_6 ==> quick-start.html#step_6
* faq.html#step_7 ==> quick-start.html#step_7
* faq.html#step_submit ==> quick-start.html#step_submit

Via:

```sh
sgit -e 's/faq\.html#enter/quick-start.html#enter/g' '*.md' '*.hdr' 'inc/*.html'
sgit -e 's/faq\.html#enter_questions/quick-start.html#enter_questions/g' '*.md' '*.hdr' 'inc/*.html'

sgit -e 's/faq\.html#step_7/quick-start.html#step_7/g' '*.md' '*.hdr' 'inc/*.html'
sgit -e 's/faq\.html#step_submit/quick-start.html#step_submit/g' '*.md' '*.hdr' 'inc/*.html'
```

The former FAQ 0.0 section in `faq.html` now just refers to `quick-start.html`.

Modified menu and non-JS menu so that "Enter the IOCCC" refers to `quick-start.html`.

Changed `bin/gen-top-html.sh` VERSION from "1.4.10 2024-11-23"
to "1.4.11 2025-01-09".

Performed `make www` on macOS to complete the above.

<h1 id="fifteenth-international-obfuscated-c-code-contest">Fifteenth International Obfuscated C Code Contest</h1>
<h2 id="standard-ioccc-stuff">Standard IOCCC stuff</h2>
<p>View the <code>index.html</code> web page for the given winning entry for information on how
on how to compile it and how to run the winning program.
Look at the winning source and try to figure how it does what it does!
You may then wish to look at the Author’s remarks for even more details.</p>
<p>Some ANSI C compilers are not quite as good as they should be. If
yours is lacking, you may need to compile using gcc instead of your
local compiler.</p>
<h2 id="new-judge">New Judge</h2>
<p>The judges were unable to contact Jeremy Horn for judging the 2000 contest.</p>
<p>As a result, <a href="http://www.sfik.com/">Simon Cooper</a> joined our team. Simon is
well known for being a co-author of the 2nd edition of the Building Internet
Firewalls book.</p>
<h2 id="remarks-on-some-of-the-entries">Remarks on some of the entries</h2>
<p>There were some outstanding entries that did not win. Unfortunately
some very good entries lost because they:</p>
<ul>
<li>depended too much on non-portable side effects in expressions;</li>
<li>depended too much on a particular byte order;</li>
<li>required the use of a special script, data file or pseudo-machine language
that was not supplied with the entry.</li>
</ul>
<p>We hope the authors of some of those entries will fix and re-submit
them for the next IOCCC.</p>
<p>We believe you will be impressed with this year’s winning entries. The <a href="jarijyrki/index.html">Best of
Show</a> is a fine example of compact obfuscation. But don’t
ignore the shorter entries. The <a href="natori/index.html">Best small program</a>, <a href="briddlebane/index.html">Best
abuse of user</a> and <a href="tomx/index.html">Most complete program</a>
are well worth studying in detail.</p>
<p>The <a href="dlowe/index.html">Worst abuse of the rules</a> is technically allowed by the
rules. We gave it an award this year, but don’t assume you can get away with
using it next time … :-)</p>
<p>Speaking of time, be sure to check out the <a href="rince/index.html">Astronomically
obfuscated</a> and the <a href="schneiderwent/index.html">Most timely
output</a> entries.</p>
<h2 id="there-was-no-1999-contest">There was no 1999 contest</h2>
<p>So what happened to 1999? Landon Curt Noll was scheduled to take a
vacation from the IOCCC this year. The remaining judges were
unable to contact Jeremy Horn, so the IOCCC stalled.</p>
<p>But thanks to Landon’s returning early from his IOCCC vacation (Landon
will take a full IOCCC vacation during some other year), Simon Cooper
joining the IOCCC judging team as well as the hard work of Peter Seebach
and Leonid A. Broukhis the judging was completed in Dec 2000.</p>
<p>It was decided that the 15th contest would be the year 2000 contest
(the year the judging completed) rather than year 1999 (the initial
scheduled start of the contest). That is why there is no 1999 contest.</p>
