currently nearly all solutions are in C or C++ and no one in Lisp, perhaps 
a nice challenge for Lisp programmers ? :-)

I've added some more maps, because the C/C++ solutions simply loops through 
all possibilites (and using at least 0.5 GB RAM), which is not possible 
with larger maps (I hope).

Final spurt! Still no Lisp solution, all in C or C++, but you can submit 
one until Tuesday next week. A nice solution has a good chance to win one 
of the exceptional solution prizes, because until today there are only 
normal solutions of the 4 maps, nothing beyond the challenge, like an 
interactive 3D robot navigation game with OpenGL or something like this.

Or just submit a normal solution to show that Lisp is alive and as good as 
C and C++, if you can :-)
