One per Example was what I was thinking.

Yes this can be handled simply by placing the appropriate keywords in
the description.

I don't think that will be necessary as the system doesn't need to be
that complex:

Description:
C++ vs Delphi project
Catagory: Strings
SubCatagory: Quick Sort;

I was thinking of simply starting with someones off the shelf code in
either language and then attempting a literal translation to the other.
If need be the original could be adjusted to bring the two more in line.

I can test on all of those, the PII vs PII distinction is hardly worth
making though.  Probably, we'll use a PII as a baseline and make note of
any significant deviations on Athlon as needed.
