Syntax:
	CalmaCst [options] [> output.log]

CalmaCst partially solves a fictional optimization problem (assigning
frequencies to ground stations), whose parameters are given in 4 files:

- CST.TXT (costs)
- CTR.TXT (constraints)
- DOM.TXT (domains)
- VAR.TXT (variables)

These files must be present in the current working directory. CalmaCst
is only useful from an academic point of view, but was used to test
profilers with.

Options:
	/D       Make output DIFF-able (line numbers, not timing)
	/M       Show all module versions (debug version only)
	/L<n>    Process at most <n> nodes; default is 10,000
	/U<n>    Set initial upperbound to <n>; default is DBL_MAX
	/V<n>    Use variable selection strategy <n>; default is 5
	/X       Perform extra lowerbound processing

I won't explain all the details of these options; the /L option is the
most important from a measurement perspective.

Output:
	By default, the output is sent to stdout, so you'll have to
	redirect it if you want to view it later on. The output is
	a log of the search process and includes statistics and the
	best solution found at the time of termination.
