If the sponsor is donating an 8-way SMP box, and wanted an SMP-capable program,
I would have excluded Tiger myself.  But the _right_ choice was Shredder from
the start, since it is also SMP capable (I don't know that it can use 8 cpus
however as there is no info on that).  If it could not, and an 8-way program
was required, I would have picked Ferret since it had to play off with Shredder
at the last WCCC, and would have been the WCCC champion had it won.

Tiger really didn't belong in the discussion if SMP was a stated requirement by
the sponsors.
