   Algorithms - A set of misc algorithms

   The pkgProblemResolver class has become insanely complex and
   very sophisticated, it handles every test case I have thrown at it
   to my satisfaction. Understanding exactly why all the steps the class
   does are required is difficult and changing though not very risky
   may result in other cases not working.
