Looking at the results of last year's competition, I notice that
one entry was submitted using Revolution.  Wonder how they did!

And looking at last year's problem statement, it would really
take a team of programmers to do a decent job.  A group from
a university environment seems like the best way to go; any
good CS grad students who know RunRev?
