// It should be pointed out that the author does not provide a complete analysis for
// either time or space. This is in part, due to the fact that it's a fairly input
// sensitive problem related to the density and construction of the graph, not just
// its size.
//
// I've also taken some liberties with the interpretation of the algorithm - I've
// basically modernized it to use real data structures (no more arrays and matrices).
// Oh... and there's explicit control structures - not just gotos.
//
// The problem is definitely NP-complete, an unbounded implementation of this
// will probably run for quite a while on a large graph. The conclusions
// of this paper also reference a Paton algorithm for undirected graphs as being
// much more efficient (apparently based on spanning trees). Although not implemented,
// it can be found here:
