Hi Stephen,

that would be great without a doubt, but I'm not able to provide an
environment where i could run code from everyone and his dog *and* have
healthy sleep at the same time. $SAFE might be an approach but i think
i remember somebody mentioning thats not really safe. (am i wrong?)

At the moment it isn't even reasonable save to assume that a robot did
not cheat without looking at the code - $SAFE might be fine to ensure
that, i just hadn't had the time.

cheers

Simon
