This is correct, and it is a _real_ problem too.  Because some micro
programs will run on parallel hardware and not be eligible for the WMCCC
title for the year.  Others might have a choice and choose one cpu to try
for the WMCCC title, but then they will have no chance for the WCCC title
since they will be on hardware far too slow.

catch-22 if there ever was one.  :)
