DONE. Well, it was not very easy [though also not very complicated].

I added a cross-compiler question and completed the F2008 section. Do 
you think it is OK now? If yes then I remove the temporary data and then 
one can start the actual polling.

Self-written PHP script. I was looking for a ready-to-use software, but 
I could not find one quickly. I then decided to write one myself. 
Adding/removing questions is easy. I have at the top simply:

$GLOBALS['compilers'] =
array('comp1' => 'Absoft',
[...]
      'comp16'=> 'g77',
      'comp17'=> array('item'=>'Other','edit'=>true)
);

Thus if you miss a question or another edit field, modifying/adding it 
is a matter of a minute. (In principle, one can also add/remove 
questions after the polling has started.)
