[Cwo] all missiles have been launched

Thanks Chuck!

Yes, this looks useful.  I'm still very unsure about the post processing.
Mainly because I haven't had much chance to try anything.
My usual method is to check QSOs with the QSOs still in their log file (lots
of file open/close operations)  Back in my DOS days it was not possible to
have the whole contest in memory, but maybe now it could be.

It's a good first step.
