Landon Curt Noll 4ee4c731f7 convert markdown copyright TAB chars into SPACE chars
While not strictly necessary, replacing the two ASCII tab characters
in the markdown copyright comment makes it easier to detect problematic
TAB indentation within markdown files.

After this commit, only 90 markdown files have leading ASCII TAB
characters.  And again, while not strictly necessary, we can consider
running expand on those 90 markdown files to see what effect that
might have on the HTML files they produce.

Replace leading ASCII TAB characters with multiples of 8 ASCII SPACE
characters (the default action of the `expand(1)` tool) might have
an negative effect on some HTML formatting where **hack-a-round**
formatting was attempted to fix broken indentation caused by
problematic ASCII TAB characters.

Think of this as a baseline for evaluating leading
TAB characters within markdown files.

TODO: Consider either using `expand(1)` to replace leading ASCII
TAB characters with multiples of 8 ASCII SPACE characters AND/OR
modifying the appropriate `bin` tool to convert leading ASCII TAB
characters into multiples of 8 ASCII SPACE characters.

To build:

    make clobber all

and follow the instructions this will give you.

If your compiler will not read from /dev/tty see the Alternate code section below.

To use:

    ./spinellis

Type in or copy paste some C code, perhaps from input.txt, and send EOF (typically ctrl-d).

Now run again:

    ./spinellis

Alternate code:

For clang or compilers that won't read from /dev/tty, we provide this version.

Alternate build:

    make clobber alt

and follow the instructions.

Alternate use:

    ./spinellis.alt

Type in or copy paste some C code, perhaps from input.txt, and send EOF (typically ctrl-d).

Now run again:

    ./spinellis.alt

Judges' remarks:

We enjoyed this entry this year; however in the future programs must be able to be compiled from within a Makefile without the need of human intervention.

Author's remarks:

This program can be configured to do almost everything. The configuration is done during compile time by typing in C code that one would like the program to perform. A trivial example is given in the `how to compile' section but the possibilities are clearly limited only by your imagination and programming skills.
